The National Monuments Service's description
On rough mountain commonage, near a stream. An exposed face of a granite boulder/outcrop (dims. 2.75m x 2.05m; H 0.48m), which slopes gently to the NNW, contains an incised cross (L 0.47m; Wth 0.27m) at its N end. The cross is formed by a deep incised groove (Wth 0.03m; D 0.02m). The upper transom ends in a short bar terminal. A long shaft extends below the transom and terminates in a small cross (Wth 0.14m) with expanded terminals. Two smaller latin crosses (L 0.13m x Wth 0.07m; L 0.09m x Wth 0.07m) are c. 40cm to the W of the larger cross. These are formed by lightly incised lines (max. D 0.008m).
