One of them is a fragment, roughly half a metre long and just under forty centimetres wide, cut from limestone and carved with a design that repays close attention: a Maltese-type cross enclosed within a double-line circle, with the remnants of a double-line shaft descending below it. The Maltese cross, so called for its characteristic splayed, equal arms, appears frequently in early Irish ecclesiastical carving, and here the enclosing circle gives it a form sometimes described as a ringed or wheel motif, a composition common in the early Christian period in Ireland.

The slab belongs to a group of three, all found in the same field beside the church known as Teampall Asurnaí, a structure whose dedication points to an early monastic or ecclesiastical foundation in this part of Eochaill, on Inis Mór. Cross-slabs of this type, flat stones incised or carved with a cross rather than fully sculpted as free-standing monuments, were used across early medieval Ireland as grave markers, boundary stones, or objects of veneration near places of worship. That three survive together here, in association with the church remains, suggests this was once a site of some local religious significance. The carving on this particular fragment was recorded by Higgins in 1987, catalogued as number 77 in the second volume of that survey.
