Detached from any standing shaft and resting beside a rough pyramidal base, the whole assembly has the look of something interrupted, a medieval intention that stalled somewhere between the quarry and completion.

The cross-head is of the ringed type, meaning a circle of stone connects the four arms, though here the ring is unpierced, left as solid granite rather than opened into the characteristic loops seen on more celebrated examples. It measures 0.7 metres across the arms and 0.5 metres in height, carved from local granite to a thickness of 0.16 metres. What makes it particularly worth attention is the decoration on its two faces. One carries a central boss, a raised rounded projection common on early medieval Irish stonework, while the other bears a triskele rendered in false relief, a triple-spiralled motif of considerable age that connects this otherwise modest object to a much older visual tradition. The triskele, a three-armed spiral form, appears in Irish art from the prehistoric period onwards and its presence here suggests the carver was drawing on a deep well of local iconographic habit. The cross sits roughly 180 metres north-west of an associated church site, a spatial relationship typical of early ecclesiastical landscapes in Ireland, where crosses often marked the outer boundaries or approaches of a monastic enclosure. Peter Harbison recorded the piece in his 1992 survey of Irish high crosses, placing it within the broader corpus of early medieval Irish stone sculpture.
