The National Monuments Service's description
One of eleven granite early grave slabs recorded at Tully graveyard (Swords 2009). This slab (H 1.51m, Wth 0.41-0.27m, T 0.08m) is tapered and has two vestigial arms protruding from the edges. It bears three groups of concentric circles on a central band with a herringbone pattern on either side (Ó hÉailidhe 1957, 79, no. 10; Ó hÉailidhe 1973, 56, 57, B13). In 1989 the slab was taken into the care of the Office of Public Works (see DU018-420----). (Swords 2009, 93-4; Corlett 2014, 93-4, Slab 2)
