The National Monuments Service's description
Fragment of a decorated stone discovered in a small hollow beside the River Annalee and on the site of a possible early church (CV023-025001-). According to Barron (1942, 120-1) it was dearly portion of a longer slab, formerly decorated with groups of six-petalled rosettes enclosed in circles, of which only one complete and one half rosette is visible on the surviving fragment. Now in the National Museum.
