The National Monuments Service's description
Within a graveyard (LF023-097002-), close to the SE angle of the 18th-century church. One of two cross-slabs (see also LF023-97004-). This roughly rectangular cross-slab (exposed H 0.7m; Wth 0.72m; T 0.11m) is aligned N-S. On its E face is a decorated Latin cross with expanded D-shaped terminals. At the intersection of the stem and arm is another very small incised cross within a circle.
