Standing just 0.60 metres tall and only 0.13 metres thick, with short, flat arms that give it an almost schematic appearance, it sits in the southwestern addition to the graveyard, south of the church, gradually being closed in by vegetation spreading from neighbouring plots.

The cross was recorded by R. Cochrane in 1893, his survey notes placing it firmly within a tradition of plain, undecorated stone crosses that predate the more elaborate memorial culture of later centuries. Such crosses, cut from local granite and shaped without ornament, are among the quieter survivals of early Christian and medieval commemoration in Ireland, their simplicity making them difficult to date with precision and equally difficult to distinguish, at a glance, from much later imitations. What Cochrane documented was a physical object already old enough to warrant scholarly attention; more than a century on, it remains in the same spot, catalogued by Geraldine Stout and updated by Christine Baker for the record uploaded in January 2015.

Finding it requires some patience. The cross sits within the southwestern section of the cemetery, in an area where the density of later headstones makes slow, careful looking necessary. The vegetation noted in the site record has likely continued to encroach since 2015, so the base and lower shaft may be partially obscured depending on the time of year. Visiting in late winter or early spring, before growth thickens, gives the best chance of seeing the full form of the stone. It is the kind of object that rewards the habit of looking low and looking slowly, rather than scanning a churchyard from a distance.
