The National Monuments Service's description
Located in E quadrant of Drumraney graveyard (WM023-040001-). Tapering cross-slab (H 1.2m; top Wth 0.6m; base Wth 0.49m; T 0.14m) bears an incised ringed cross with expanded terminals and sunken angles contained within an incised frame. The date 1632 is divided into two parts with 16 and 32 incised into the triangular shaped area located either side of the head of the ringed cross. The inscription which reads HEARE LIETH THE BODY OF DO AND WILIAM FVRY HIS SON runs along the side of the incised frame either side of the shaft of the cross. The base of the slab is not visible as the stone has been placed in an upright position into the surface of the graveyard (WM023-040001-) similar to the surrounding headstones.
