A cross-inscribed pillar-slab (DG080-020002-) 1.11m in height. The decoration is on the NE face (.18m wide). It consists of a central stem connecting a quartered-circle motif on top to a roundel motif on the bottom. This seems to be a larger version of the motif on one of the cross-slabs in the enclosure at Straid (DG080-013008-). The slab is surrounded by a subcircular cairn (DG080-020001-) 3.8m in diameter and 0.65m high. It is located in poor rocky land on the floor of Glencolumbkille valley.
This is a National Monument (No. 139 (2)) in state guardianship.
