The National Monuments Service's description

Set upright against the outer face of the E wall of a church (WI021-005001-). A granite trapezoidal graveslab (visible above ground to a height of 1.06m; Wth 0.54m at broad top end; T 0.28m). The upper end is decorated with a cross defined by a groove (D 0.005m; Wth 0.002-0.003m) and two grooves extend down to ground level. The slab and decoration are in the same style as the other slab (WI021-005003-) inside the church but are considerably cruder.
