L 0.64m; Wth 0.77m at top, 0.7m at base) portion survive. The slab is described in detail by Maher (1992, 30-36). 'It consists of a seven-armed cross, carved in relief, with simple floriated terminals' (ibid. 32). The top sinister side is broken off, but there are motifs in each of the three remaining sunken segments of the cross-head and outside the cross-head (ibid.). Three of these motifs are typically 'Celtic' in style and form (ibid., 34). Maher suggests a late 15th/early 16th-century date for this graveslab (ibid.).
