The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a very gentle ENE-facing slope in grassland. In the SW sector of an oval enclosure (WI039-022001-) with a graveyard (WI039-022002-) which has several small, uninscribed grave-markers set in rows and a granite cross-slab with pointed head and arms (H 0.94m). The head is broken and lies beside the rest of the cross. One side had a crucifixion figure in low relief which is no longer visible (Price 1945, 257).
