The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a level low-lying landscape. There is the shaft of a memorial cross (dims 0.18m x 0.17m; H 1.50m) bearing a fragment of an inscription in the graveyard (RO044-043002-). At the top of the E side 'WIF' can be distinguished with the base of 'HIS' above (Siggins 1986b, 34-5). The shaft now supports the head of another small cross (H 0.45m; span 0.4m; T 0.14m).
