The lower portion of the slab survives more or less intact, measuring just over a metre in length, but the cross-head is gone, the marginal text is broken at both ends, and the name of the person commemorated has been lost entirely. What remains of the Latin inscription translates roughly as "...a cleric of the parish of Kilmory who died, and his wife..." before trailing off into further gaps. The raised black-letter script runs in a band around the edge of the slab in the manner typical of late medieval memorial stones, and a stepped calvary mount, the base of tiered steps on which a cross traditionally stands, is still visible, along with a carved skull at its foot.

The slab almost certainly commemorates a parish priest of Kilmory, the older name for Kilmurry, and quite possibly his wife or companion, which suggests it may predate the stricter enforcement of clerical celibacy, or reflects a rather candid acknowledgement of domestic arrangements that were not uncommon in medieval Irish parishes. The inclusion of a wife or female partner in the inscription is unusual enough to warrant attention. Two further fragments lying immediately to the west of the main slab, one from the upper left corner and one from the upper right, are likely the missing pieces of the same stone, broken away at some point and never reassembled. Together they hint at what the complete slab once looked like, though the cross-head, which would have occupied the now-absent upper section, is gone for good.
