The National Monuments Service's description
In the grounds of the Roman Catholic church of Lisacul. A gable-shaped limestone plaque (Wth 0.33m; H 0.77m; T 0.18m) with a recessed panel on one face and which is damaged on one long side. It displays a crucifixion in relief, but no symbols of the Passion. Above the crucifixion an inscription reads GONE TO THE HOUSE OF PRAYER. Below the crucifixion are four lines of an inscription. The first line reads GONE TO ADORE IN HIS HONOUR, the next two are illegible and the final line consists of a single word CROSS. It is probably 19th century, and may have come from the old Roman Catholic church marked on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map c. 250m to the WSW.
