The National Monuments Service's description
Discovered in a graveyard (WI009-017003-), lying some 10m S of the E-end of a church (WI009-017002-). This complete granite slab measures 1.06m long, 0.44m wide at the top, 0.33m wide at the base and is 0.10m thick. The incised cross is splayed and measures 0.28m high and 0.255m across. From the lower transom a shaft (6cm to 6.5cm total width) extends down the slab for a distance of 0.23m, and stops without any formal terminal, or in a terminal cross as might be expected.
