Described by Crawford in 1913 as 'a slab bearing a design consisting of a cross or four-rayed star formed of intersecting arcs of circles and surrounded by two concentric circles the outer being 11 in. in diameter' (Crawford 1913, 263). No surface remains visible of this cross-slab at the site of the monastery of Tihilly. Slab (c) in Crawfords catalogue of cross-slabs from Tihilly.
