The National Monuments Service's description
This stone was found in the 1960's while cleaning out a pond in the garden of the rectory. It was of limestone (L0.60m, Wth 0.50m, T 0.15m). On one face there were two incised Latin crosses, one with T-shaped terminals and the other, slightly larger with plain terminals. It may have served as a gutter stone for a medieval building (Swords 2009, 112). The exact location of this stone is unknown.
