The National Monuments Service's description
Lying in the choir of the cathedral (TS061-025003-) on the Rock of Cashel. A weathered and chipped tapering slab (L 1.78m; Wth at top 0.32m; Wth at base 0.3m; T 0.09m) with a chamfer (Wth 0.04m) along the sinister edge (Maher 1997, 74). The decoration is described by Maher (1997, 74) as, 'incised and what survives of the cross head consists of the lower segment of an outline circle, beneath which is a circular knop surmounting an outline cross-stem, which terminates in a stepped base. There is no evidence to suggest that the slab bore an inscription'. The slab had been re-used as a window jamb as there are three glazing bar-holes on the sinister side.
