The National Monuments Service's description
Located inside St. Kevin's Church (WI023-009----). Described by Leask (1950, 45) as a 'recumbent in front of the Market Cross is a large slab, 5 feet 10 inches [1.77m] by 3 feet 11 inches [1.2m] incised with an uncommon design consisting of four saltines (diagonal X-form crosses) of three lines with circular centres and terminations, forming a continuous pattern over the whole surface. This slab is said to have been brought from Reefert Church. Whether it is a tomb slab or an altar frontal is not certain but the latter named use is not improbable'. (Note: a second cross-slab (WI023-009013-) is visible to the left of this slab in the ASI photograph.)
