This badly worn rectangular slab was discovered in 1858. It had been used as a step leading up to the western gallery of the church. The slab bears a simple shafted cross surrounded by a ring which is bordered by bead-moulding. The side panels depict two seated figures facing the cross each stretching out an arm to support the cross shaft. The figures are thought to represent St Paul and St Anthony, the Desert Fathers whose extreme religious asceticism in the deserts of Egypt won many admirers. Below these figures are two riders on horseback, whose steeds also give the impression of supporting the cross.


At the base of each panel is a third, fragmentary figure which may possibly be a hound. A very fragmentary inscription survives set in a panel on the cross shaft. There are some parallels in the style of carving with that found on some Pictish monuments in southern Scotland, particularly in the Strathearn area. The original cross is so fragile that it is displayed in the Manx Museum. A replica is at Maughold.
