Rather than lying flat over a burial as intended, the upper portion of this carved stone has been inserted on its side into the external east wall of the abbey's east range, repurposed as ordinary building material at some point after its original use had passed. It is the kind of quiet indignity that happened often enough to carved stonework in post-dissolution Ireland, but it does not make the stone any less worth examining.

The fragment measures roughly 0.66 metres by 0.64 metres, though the dexter top and side, that is, the right-hand corner as it would have appeared when the slab lay horizontally, are now missing. What survives is a seven-armed segmental cross decorated with fleur-de-lis terminals, the stylised lily-shaped ornaments that appear frequently on medieval funerary carving, and a barred-knop at the base of the cross-head, a small decorative boss or projection. Only three of the original seven arms remain intact. Along the sinister top and upper side of the slab, which is to say the left-hand edge, there are traces of Black Letter script running through the border. Black Letter, the dense angular script common to medieval European stonework and manuscripts, was the standard lettering style for funerary inscriptions of the period, and though too little survives here to be legible, its presence confirms that this was once a named memorial for a specific individual.

The slab sits within the wall of Holy Trinity Abbey, Fethard's well-preserved Augustinian house, and is visible on the exterior of the east range. The town of Fethard retains an unusually complete circuit of medieval town walls, and the abbey itself contains other carved stonework from the same period, so the graveslab is one fragment among several survivals, albeit one that has travelled an odd route to reach its current position.
