The National Monuments Service's description
Affixed to the wall above the back door of a disused, late-18th/19th century farmhouse abutting Reeves castle (KD015-002001-). A small plaque (est. dims. Wth c. 0.4m; H c. 0.5m) carries a horizontally elongated lozenge motif with small central boss, which is flanked above by two more bosses, above which are a further two, slightly smaller bosses, each of which appears to carry an animal motif (? a hound), obscured by dense green-mould.
