It is categorised cautiously as a "possible cross", which in archaeological terms is a meaningful hesitation; the carving is described as rudimentary, meaning it sits somewhere between deliberate religious symbol and the kind of mark that could be read either way depending on the light and the eye doing the looking.

The object was recorded in 2011 during a systematic graveyard survey conducted by Ann Frykler and Robert Hanbidge of Headland Archaeology Ltd. Their record notes that the slab functions doubly, as a potential cross and as the gravemarker for Grave No. 392. That dual role is not unusual in older Irish burial grounds, where carved stones frequently served both commemorative and devotional purposes without any apparent tension between the two. What makes this particular example worth noting is the roughness of the work itself. A rudimentary cross slab suggests something made without the tools or training of a professional mason, possibly shaped by a family member or a local hand with no pretension to craft, just the need to mark a grave with something recognisably Christian.
