Only the lower portion of the slab survives above ground, measuring just over a metre in height and nearly a metre wide, yet it holds enough detail to suggest it once commemorated someone of some standing. More curiously, a rectangular perforation cut through the base of the stone points to a second life entirely: at some point, this funerary monument was apparently repurposed as a spud-stone, the kind of roadside or gateway stone used to prevent cart wheels from scraping the masonry of a gatepost. A memorial reduced to a practical obstacle is an undignified fate, and the badly scored surface of the slab suggests the intervening centuries were not gentle with it.

What remains of the carving is still legible in outline, if not in full detail. Carved in relief, the lower portion of a cross-shaft terminates in a pillar-base form, and on either side sit two heraldic shields, both worn, with the right-hand example retaining a decorative base. A chamfer, a narrow bevelled edge, runs along both the left and right margins of the slab. Along these same edges, a Black Letter inscription once ran; Black Letter being the dense, angular script common on medieval funerary monuments across Ireland and Britain. The text is now largely illegible through wear, but fragments survive: on the left edge, something ending in "US UXORE" suggesting a wife or spouse was named, along with a partial date reading "F.ERIB91"; on the right edge, the fragment "MAII" survives, possibly a reference to the month of May. Maher, writing in 1997, recorded what could still be made out at that time, and even that partial reading raises more questions than it answers about whose memory the slab was originally raised to preserve.
