It is one of eight cross-slabs arranged around a feature known as Leaba Bhreacáin, and carved into its face is a cross pattée, a cross whose four arms flare outward toward the edges, set within a circle. The slab is modest in its dimensions, 0.55 metres high, 0.47 metres wide, and 0.19 metres thick, but that restraint is part of what makes it worth attention.

Leaba Bhreacáin, which translates roughly as the Bed of Breacán, is a saint's bed, a type of early medieval monument associated with a holy figure, typically a flat stone setting understood as the place where a saint slept, prayed, or was buried. The name connects this site to Saint Breacán, one of several early Christian figures associated with the islands. The eight cross-slabs that surround it, of which this is one, form a kind of stone congregation around that central feature. Scholars John Waddell and Joss Higgins both recorded this particular slab in the 1970s and 1980s respectively, noting the cross pattée design, a form that appears across early Irish and early medieval Christian carving and suggests a date somewhere in that long span of insular Christian tradition, though pinning it down more precisely than that is difficult without further evidence.
