The National Monuments Service's description
According to Macalister (1945, 128-9), a 'very tall stone' was removed from the NW quadrant of a ringfort called Lisagallaun (CO040-053001-) and broken into a number of pieces; one part was used as a workbench in a nearby farmyard, a second was 'erected as a gatepost to the haggard' (ibid.). This stone (1.8m; 0.75mx 0.25m) had, according to Macalister (ibid.), 'traces of a very worn inscription on the dexter edge; out of this, after prolonged study, I succeeded in extracting a reading SECIDARI'. The gatepost is now broken up and the pieces scattered. (Power et al. 1997, no. 6914)
