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.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
