The National Monuments Service's description

Described by Rynne (SMR file, 1962) as 'a large, flattish boulder (limestone?)' apparently found on the Hill of Allen in 1961, and moved to outside the doorway of Ballyteague Castle (KD013-020----). Rynne's sketch shows an apparently compass-drawn palmette-style design. An inspection in 1999 failed to locate this stone.
