It marks a burial, designated in survey records as Grave No. 400, and it carries a deeply inscribed cross cut into its face. The combination is not unusual in Irish early medieval contexts, where simple cross-inscribed stones served both as devotional objects and as grave markers, but the plainness of this one is striking. It has not been dressed or shaped with any particular care; the stone is roughly hewn, the kind of object that could be walked past without a second glance.
