The National Monuments Service's description
Within the graveyard at the site of Drumsnat parish church (MO013-002003-) is a disc-headed cross (H 1m; span 0.65m) with a rather subrectangular solid ring (diam. 0.51-0.53m; T 0.16m) and a rectangular cross-section at the base (dims 0.33m x 0.13m). The cross is probably seventeenth century in date, although there is no inscription. The ring is emphasised by four D-shaped depressions (dims 0.1m x 0.1m; D 2cm) on the E face and the short sides of the cross are pock-dressed.
