The National Monuments Service's description
Lying in the choir of the cathedral (TS061-025003-) on the Rock of Cashel. A tapering slab (L 1.9m; Wth at top 0.66m; Wth at base 0.46m; T 0.08m) with straight sides which has two breaks in the upper portion (Maher 1997, 74). The decoration is very worn in the upper portion of the slab, the lower half consists of two broad parallel panels with pointed ends (ibid.). There is no evidence of an inscription (ibid.). Fitzgerald (1901-03, vol. 5, 442) describes this slab as 'Illegible'. The cross-shaft terminates in a sloping calvary mount.
