The National Monuments Service's description

A rectangular-shaped block of limestone (L 0.49m; Wth 0.175m; D 0.175m), decorated on one side only with foliage in relief. At the time of inspection in 1984, the stone was in the possession of a farming family in the townland, who did not know how they came by it. In the adjoining townland of Castlelishen are the remains of a tower house (CO006-020001-), c. 1.6km to the E from the location of the stone. The foliage is not unlike that at the base of the spiral stone (CO006-019----), which is associated with Castlelishen, and it is possible that this fragment also came from the castle.
