The National Monuments Service's description
Three decorated stones were discovered in 2007 by the landowner while carrying out work associated with widening a gate opening. The stones were built into a field wall in close proximity to one another. In 2010 a fourth stone was found. All 4 stones are roughly the same size and originally formed one stone (L 1.6m; Wth 1m). The stones are heavily decorated with cup marks, concentric motiffs and radial lines. (Corlett 2010, 4)
