Cut into the stone in relief is a floriated cross, meaning a cross whose arms terminate in or sprout stylised leaf and flower forms, a type of ornament common in medieval funerary carving across Ireland and Britain, used to suggest resurrection and renewal.

The slab is one of a pair uncovered during investigation of a structure in the townland of Gardens. The circumstances of their burial beneath building foundations raises quiet questions about the sequence of use and reuse at the site: whether the stones were deliberately placed, repurposed as building material, or simply accumulated beneath later construction over time. Farrelly and colleagues recorded both slabs in 1993, noting their presence as part of a wider survey of the area. The companion stone is recorded separately, and together they point to what was likely a zone of earlier religious or funerary activity, now largely obscured by subsequent building.
