The National Monuments Service's description
Discovered in a graveyard (WI009-017003-), lying some 10m S of a church (WI009-017002-). The granite slab measures 75cm long and 12cm thick. The slab is 40cm wide at the top and 53cm wide at the base where it has broken. This tapering form implies that this represents the lower end of a larger slab, whereby the main cross was located on the missing part of the slab. The incised splayed cross is equal armed (34cm across and 34cm high). From the lower transom of the cross an incised shaft or stem (11cm total width) extends down the face of the slab, and originally would probably have linked this cross with the main cross at the top of the slab.
