The National Monuments Service's description
Listed in both the SMR (1989) and RMP (1995) and classified 'Grave-slab'. In the E half of Montiagh graveyard (SL042-004001-). A rougly shaped slab (H 0.55m; Wth 0.5m; T 0.06m) with a simple Latin cross incised on one face. Thinly incised lines represent the shaft (H 0.2m) and the arms (Wth 0.14m) of the cross, with a slight expansion or indentation marking the terminals. The base of the shaft is flanked by the letters 'P' and 'B', incised similarly to the cross. The distance between the letters and the cross is unequal, the 'P' being furthest away. This is probably a grave-marker, perhaps 19th or even 20th century in date (pers. comm. M. B. Timoney). (Herity, Kelly and Mattenberger 1997, 121).
