The National Monuments Service's description
'A chamfered coffin shaped slab is set upside down at the head of a grave in the south of the graveyard. Only the lower portion is visible but it would appear to bear a cross design in relief springing from a decorated base consisting of a pointed reticulated arch' (Bradley and King 1985, 45).
