The National Monuments Service's description
At the N edge of a penitential cairn (SL034-070002-). A loose narrow upright slab (H 0.94m; Wth 0.27m) is faintly incised with a simple cross (shaft 0.34m; arms 0.24m) enclosed within a circle (diam. 0.24m). The shaft of the cross extends below the circle. There is a small simple incised cross (0.09m x 0.07m) in each of the two upper quarters of the circle. (pers. comm. M. B. Timoney)
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
