What makes it curious is not dramatic ornament or a legible inscription, because there is none, but the precision of its geometry: three parallel grooves cut to form a double-outlined cross-stem, the outer grooves resolving at the base into simple volutes, those small scroll-like terminals that appear occasionally on medieval Irish funerary carving. Parallel bands in low relief flank each volute, and a grooved border runs close to the edges of the slab. The whole thing tapers from roughly half a metre wide at the top to under twenty centimetres at the base, measuring just over a metre in length, though the head of the cross may extend further down into the earth.

The slab was recorded and described by Maher in 1997, who noted its location within the chancel, placed about three and a half metres east of the east wall of the tower. Sandstone weathers badly in the Irish climate, and the degree of wear here has left the design difficult to read in anything other than raking light. Notably, the carved vocabulary, the double-outlined stem, the volutes, the framing border, belongs to a tradition of medieval graveslab carving found across Munster and beyond, where anonymous craftspeople worked within a shared decorative language that rarely included text. The person buried beneath this stone left no name. A second slab of comparable type lies about four and a half metres to the south, suggesting this corner of the chancel once served as a particular focus for burial, though the identities of those commemorated are now entirely lost.
