It was not listed in the Sites and Monuments Record of 1992, nor in the Record of Monuments and Places of 1996, which makes its quiet survival on the cathedral floor all the more curious. It is the kind of object that rewards a second glance.

What remains is the lower portion of a trapezoidal slab, a shape that widens slightly from one end to the other, as was common in medieval funerary stonework. The surviving piece measures roughly 63 centimetres in length, narrowing from about 34 centimetres at what was once the midpoint down to 30 centimetres at the base. Carved into the stone by incision, a technique in which the design is cut directly into the surface rather than raised in relief, is the base of a cross. Two plain lines form the shaft, which then expands downward into two squared sections, each carrying a different floral-like motif. The upper portion of the slab, and with it most of the cross, is gone. A second medieval graveslab lies nearby to the north-east, and several of the rougher, unmarked slabs scattered across the chancel floor may also belong to the medieval period, though their dating is less certain. Kilfenora Cathedral itself is a Romanesque and Gothic structure with origins in the twelfth century, and its chancel has long been roofless, leaving these stones exposed to the elements for centuries.
