An early Christian memorial stone and wayside cross comprising of an upright, rectangular shaft which tapers from its base, set in a modern, two-stepped circular base. The south-west face bears an incised inscription in Latin carved in two parallel lines running down the shaft, which characterises the origin of the Tristan Stone as an early Christian memorial stone. Inserted into the top of the memorial stone is a mortice, designed to receive a cross head.
