The National Monuments Service's description
In the SE sector of an ecclesiastical enclosure (TS074-010----) known as St. Berrihert's Kyle. This slab is referred to by Ó hÉailidhe (1967, 118) as slab 70, and was 'fixed in "station" on boundary bank (10th)'. It is described by Ó hÉailidhe (ibid.) as being composed of red sandstone (dims 0.66m x 0.35m; T 0.18m), and consisted of a 'Tall stone with rough cross-shaft in low relief at the top'. The slab is supported in an upright position by stones at the SE bank of the enclosure.
