The National Monuments Service's description
Situated at the N edge of a slight basin. This is a sandstone slab in two portions (max. dims 0.75m x 0.3m; T 0.1m) and it has a narrow tenon (L 0.15m) at the narrower base. One side is decorated with an incised double-ring over a simple single-line cross with four dots around the crux. The stem is formed by three incised lines connected by four horizontal lines.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
