The National Monuments Service's description
A headstone (H 0.95m; Wth 0.63-0.69m; T 0.16-0.18m) in the graveyard (WA007-010002-) of Mothel Abbey (WA007-010001-) may be a re-used early cross-slab. It has a Latin cross (H 0.74m; Wth 0.59m) with hollowed angles in relief, which is the same design as on the cross-inscribed pillar (WA007-011----) c. 50m S of the graveyard, although it may be a recent feature inspired by the cross-inscribed pillar. (Manning 1981)
Manning, C. (1981) An Early Christian grave-slab at Mothel. Decies, No. 17, 80-1.
