Found not in a tomb or chapel but within a stepped north-western passage through the ecclesiastical enclosure on High Island off the Connemara coast, this kite-shaped cross-slab was already out of its original position when recorded, making it what archaeologists call redeposited. Whatever function it once served, its precise relationship to the surrounding early Christian site has been disturbed, leaving the carving itself as the main thing to read.

The decoration on its single worked face layers several cross types into a composition that repays close attention. A Latin cross, the familiar form with a longer lower arm, is rendered partly in outline and partly in low relief, and it wraps around a linear cross at the centre. That inner cross terminates in a small roundel, which in turn encloses an incised Greek cross, where all four arms are of equal length. The side-arms of the composition end in D-shaped terminals, while the upper and lower arms are forked, splitting at their tips. Two further linear Latin crosses occupy the lower quadrants of the slab. The overall effect is one of deliberate visual density, cross forms nested within and beside one another. The foot of the slab and its left edge are broken, so the original outline of the piece and whether any decoration extended to those areas is no longer recoverable. Fisher's 2014 recording of the slab places it within a broader survey of early medieval carved stones from the island, which was the site of a monastery associated with the seventh-century saint Féchín of Fore.
