Most early graveslabs lie flat, slowly sinking into the earth; this one is set on its end, which gives it an almost confrontational presence among the grass and older headstones.

The slab is cut from limestone and tapers slightly, wider at the top than at the base, measuring just over a metre in visible length. One corner of its upper left side has broken away at some point, but the main decoration survives in good condition. At its centre is a seven-arm fleur-de-lys cross, a type in which the arms and terminals are rendered as the stylised lily-flower motif associated with heraldry and ecclesiastical ornament across medieval Europe. The cross is formed with double incised lines, meaning the design was cut as paired parallel grooves rather than a single channel, giving the image a clean, almost architectural quality. The shaft of the cross is formed by the same double lines continuing downward from the head, and the head itself sits within a double incised circle, 0.54 metres in diameter, which frames the whole composition. It is a compact, considered piece of carving, and the geometry involved would have required some skill to lay out on stone.
