The National Monuments Service's description
From King (2007, 54-5, No. 4) A thin roughly shaped Latin cross slab 62cms in height, 34cms wide and 5cms in depth is located immediately to the south-west of the Early Medieval shaft. It is decorated on one face only with a very clearly pecked vertical two-celled rectangular grid and a horizontal oval extending across the grid and into the arms. The impression is of an equal armed cross.
