A circular cairn, measuring roughly 4.6 metres across and standing just over a metre high, forms the base of this ancient monument. Atop this stone mound rests an undressed slab, no more than 1.14 metres long and varying in width from 22 to 34 centimetres, bearing witness to centuries of Irish Christian heritage.

What makes this otherwise unremarkable stone special are the crosses carved into three of its faces. The western side displays a bar cross with distinctive terminals; a pear-shaped ending at the bottom and a rectangular top decorated with internal markings. The northern face bears a simple Latin cross topped with a bar terminal, whilst the eastern side features another Latin cross, this time with bar terminals on each of its arms. These designs, though thinly incised and somewhat weathered by time, represent the kind of early Christian stone carving found throughout Ireland’s countryside.

The site, known locally as the Cross-slab of Dún Ailt, exemplifies the type of modest religious monuments that dot the Irish landscape, often overlooked but deeply significant to understanding how Christianity spread through rural communities. Its location in what is now a garden setting belies its ancient origins, when such markers might have served as focal points for prayer, boundary markers, or commemorative monuments in the medieval period and beyond.
