The National Monuments Service's description
According to Rynne (SMR File, 1962) this is, 'a large, flattish boulder (limestone?)' apparently found on the Hill of Allen in 1961, which was moved to outside the doorway of Ballyteague Castle (KD013-020001-), owned by Mr. Hendry. Rynne's sketch shows an apparently compass-drawn palmette-style design. The stone is no longer outside the castle.
