The National Monuments Service's description
Within an ecclesiastical enclosure (SL001-001001-), located above the doorway in Templenatinny church (SL001-001011-).
Slab (L: <1.01 m, W: 0.38 m) reused as lintel with two areas of carving, placed axially at the extremities of its visible underside. At the north is an incised cross each arm of which is decorated with a bar. This is contained within an outline cross of similar design, with curved angles (total area 0.39 m by 0.295 m). Part of what is probably a smaller outline cross is visible at the south end of the lintel.
The above description is derived from the results of a survey of the archaeological monuments on Inishmurray undertaken in 1997-1999 and published in:
Jerry O’Sullivan and Tomás Ó Carragáin 2008 Inishmurrary. Monks and pilgrims in an Atlantic landscape. Volume 1: Archaeological Survey and Excavations 1997-2000. Cork. The Collins Press.
