The National Monuments Service's description
Within the graveyard (TS088-018005-), 6m S of the W gable of the medieval church (TS088-018002-). A sandstone cross-slab (H 0.66m; Wth 0.24m; T 0.075-0.095m) in an upright position, with a cross motif incised onto the E face. The motif consists of a cross potent, a cross with arms of equal length crossed at their ends by short right angled bars (Tipperary South Riding County Museum file 02.08.1984). In this case the arms extend beyond the cross pieces (ibid.). The upper and side arms extend to the edge of the slab while the bottom vertical extends below the crossing to form a spike like terminal (ibid.).
