The National Monuments Service's description
Within a rectangular graveyard (KK022-018001-), associated with a medieval church (KK022-018005-), c. 3m from the E boundary. Embedded upright, though inverted, in the ground where it has been reused to mark a later grave. A tapering limestone slab (dims. H 1.3m above ground; Wth 0.5m narrowing to 0.25m; T 0.25m). The face of the slab is badly weathered, only one simple fleur-de-lys terminal of a probable four-armed cross is visible, as well as the lower portion of the cross-shaft with a similar fleur-de-lys terminal. The underside of the slab is roughly cut. The shape of the slab and the decorative style of the cross indicate that it dates to the 13th/14th century. There is another graveslab (KK022-018002-) of similar date in the graveyard.
