The National Monuments Service's description
Found on the surface of the church site (LH006-101001-) shortly before 1970 and deposited in the National Museum of Ireland. A roughly rectangular stone broken at the top and bottom (present L 32cm; Wth 24.5cm; T 6-7cm). Decoration consists of an equal-armed cross set in a circle, with arms extending from circle and decorated with semi-circles. The decoration was executed by pecking the design in double lines. Drawn and described by Raftery (CLAJ 1970, 113, Fig. 2).
