It has a foliate cross. The remains of an inscription in Lombardic lettering run parallel with the stem of the cross: HIC IACET...(Here lies), and beneath DEDAS..(may you grant?....).

A 10th- to 12th-century Christian gravestone, likely from the early medieval period, significant for its foliate cross carving, which reflects Insular artistic traditions.
