The National Monuments Service's description
This cross-slab (Stone H; see KE042-060022-) was found reused as part of a ceallúnach grave within the oratory at Riasc. It is a thin sandstone slab (L 0.85m. W 0.4m. T 0.05m) squared at the top and tapered along its length. The smooth-dressed face bears a recessed design consisting of a Maltese cross within a square frame. In the upper right-hand angle is a small stylised representation of a bird (probably a peacock), originally one of an opposed pair. .
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 874.
