This cross-slab is located c. 6.5m to the S of the church (GA021-026014-) on High Island, between the church enclosure (GA021-026021-) and the monastic enclosure (GA021-026022-). It is one of two cross-slabs (see also GA021-026016-) that were found among debris within the latter enclosure and it was placed at this spot in 1869 by Kinahan (1869, 348). Described by Fisher (2014, 210, no. 20, Figs. 7.4, 7.12) as a garnet mica-schist cross-slab (H 1.1m; Wth 0.39m; T 0.1m) which is decorated on both faces. The S face bears a short-armed expansional cross with a central roundel and D-shaped terminals in low relief. The right terminal is broken off and the top one is damaged. A boss is visible in the upper left quadrant. The N face bears a much-worn linear cross with forked terminals. (Higgins 1987, vol. II, 340-41, no. 66; White Marshall and Rourke 2000, 143-4, no. 5)
