This large and weathered slab stood on the small green outside the church where the war memorial is now located until the 1880s when it was brought inside the church. It had been used for tethering horses and as a billboard for posters. Its carvings are heavily worn, but each broad face bears a cross surrounded by a ring, both filled with plaited and interlaced carvings. The shaft on both faces is decorated with plait-of-five; one face bears twist and ring to the left and key-fret to the right, the other a plain twist and form of linked twist.


The design follows the Scandinavian Borre style and dates to AD950-1000. The runic inscription along the edge is now unclear, but with the help of an earlier drawing the inscription has been deciphered to read, 'this in memory of Ofeig his father, but Gaut made it, son of Biarn from Kuli'. The first part of the inscription is lost but probably recorded the name of the person who raised the stone. Gaut is also recorded on one of the stones at Kirk Michael (Manx Cross 101).


A number of stylistic similarities which appear on these and several other crosses from the Island suggest that they may have been carved by the same person, or at least come from the same workshop, and Gaut's intricate work has thus become some of the most iconic from the Island. The runic inscription implies something of the ancestry of Gaut: he was the 'son of Bjorn from kuli'. It has been suggested that 'kuli' refers to the island of Coll in the Hebrides.
