The National Monuments Service's description
Located 24.1m SSW of the round tower (WI023-008002-) - look for the modern headstone, 'Edward Magee 1912 - 1993', the slab stands 1.5m to the S of this headstone. This slab was not previously recorded. A low, roughly dressed, earthfast and erect, thin granite slab, with rounded top (max. H 0.5m; Wth 0.54m; T 0.03-0.07m) carry's a small but deeply incised (1cm) Latin cross on its E-face (H 0.09m; Wth 0.06m) with a deeply incised horizontal line ending in T-shaped terminals just below (like an 'I', but horizontal). These features are above a deeply incised hemispherical depression (Wth 0.10m) (like a 'D' rotated anti-clockwise), which itself is above a crude rectangular hole in the slab (H0.09m; Wth 0.045m). The hemispherical depression and horizontal line might be the initials D I / I D sideways?
