The worn stone slab was unearthed around 1870 at a nearby mound north of the church. The intricate carving depicts a Celtic cross enclosed within a circular border. The lower arm of the cross stretches downwards, forming a sturdy shaft that rests atop a simple flat base. Each component - cross, ring, shaft and pedestal - is delicately framed by an ornate bead molding. The cross itself remains unadorned aside from its elegant border.
