On the NE face is an encircled outline cross, beneath which is a horizontally disposed, elongated, outline rectangle. The field of vertical grooves on this face of the slab are natural (information: G. Rourke). On the opposite face is a linear Latin cross. H: 0.74m. W: 0.34m. T: 0.08m' (O'Sullivan and Sheehan 1996, 289, no. 948 (42)). The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J.
