Noted by Macalister (1916-17, 156, no. 60) as of ‘twelfth-century type’. Described by Okasha and Forsyth (2001, 78-80) as a large cross-slab (H 1.27m; Wth 0.51m; T 0.8m) with some delamination of the carved surface. The face is dressed and incised with an outline Latin cross with hollowed angles and a rectangular base, open at the bottom, with a faint line separating the shaft from the base.
