This cross-inscribed slab was moved from the chapel at Marlay (see LH018-041----) to the porch of St. Peter's church (see LH024-041101- for present location). The slab is roughly circular (max. L 0.82m; max. Wth 0.82m) with very irregular edges. It bears two crudely incised Latin crosses placed side by side. One is a linear cross with slightly curving bifid terminals. The other is a more elaborate version, with a linear circle joining the shaft and arms and a single incised line partly outlining the cross. The outer line is slightly convex rather than forked at three of the terminals and is missing above the upper terminal. An Irish inscription above and below the crosses reads 'Tnudach Cocmanf'. The crosses and inscription are enclosed by a roughly circular linear frame which is now partly defaced. (Davies 1944, 284; Lionard 1961, 102, fig. l: 10; Macalister 1949, 31).
