The National Monuments Service's description

Brought to the Schoolhouse/OPW conservation store from Teach Molaise (SL001-001005-) in the Cashel (SL001-001001-) in 1989.
Slab (H: 0.325 m, W: 0.21 m, Th: 0.052 m) with rounded corners whose face is filled with a simple shafted outline cross formed of a single false relief strand. The width of this strand is generally consistent (0.006 m) except for a slight irregularity at the upper terminal.

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.
