It is an unassuming object, barely more than a foot across, and easily passed over. But on its eastern face someone has cut a Latin cross into the stone, lightly incised but deliberate, with a detail that sets it apart from the ordinary: the shaft of the cross splits below the arms, widening outward before narrowing again to a point at the base.

The stone was recorded by Higgins in 1987, who catalogued it as a naturally rounded boulder measuring 0.36 metres high, 0.23 metres wide, and 0.08 metres thick. It lies within a children's burial ground, known in Irish tradition as a cillín, a type of informal burial place used for unbaptised infants and others who could not be interred in consecrated ground. These sites were typically located at liminal spots, enclosure boundaries, ancient earthworks, or the edges of fields, and they were used well into the twentieth century. The enclosure that contains this particular cillín adds another layer of age to the site, suggesting a landscape with a long history of use and meaning. The bifurcating shaft of the cross is an unusual decorative choice, not a standard feature of simple incised crosses, and gives this otherwise modest stone a quiet singularity.
