The slab itself is modest in scale, measuring just thirty centimetres high and twenty-eight centimetres wide, yet what survives of its carving repays close attention.

The slab bears a single-line Latin cross, a form common in early medieval Irish stone carving in which the cross is incised as a single groove rather than built up in relief. What distinguishes this example are the bifurcating terminals, meaning the ends of the arms split into two diverging points, something like a tuning fork, giving the cross a distinctive and slightly unusual finish. This detailing survives on the complete right arm and at the base of the shaft. The left arm is lost to a break in the stone, which also accounts for the slab's fragmentary condition. At the top, the cross ends not in a bifurcating terminal but in a small circle, a subtle variation that sets it apart from a purely uniform design. The site is a cillín, the Irish term for an unconsecrated burial ground traditionally used for unbaptised children and others excluded from consecrated ground, places that sit at the quieter, more ambiguous edges of the Christian landscape in Ireland. The cross-slab was catalogued by Higgins in 1987.
