Macalister/1945, 195--196: `...a cross formed of lines grouped one-two-two-one, the inner line of the groups of two being more slender than the outer line. The broad band between the two groups of two lines seems to have been covered with interlacement, but the surface of the stone is so weathered and disintegrated that it is next to impossible to make anything out at all. There are slight triangular expansions at the terminals, but none in the centre of the cross'.
