The National Monuments Service's description

Incorporated into an 18th-century folly (MA121-004001-). A number of medieval carved stones are incorporated into a stone-built, stepped pyramidal-shaped folly which was erected in 1753. At the top of the folly there is as block of worked limestone, square (0.06m N−S; 0.6m E−W; H 0.35m) in plan, which has an inscription and date 1526 carved in false relief on three sides of the stone. The E-facing façade of the folly displays three rectangular stone slabs, two of which each bear a carving of an animal, and the third a carving of an angle. The provenance of these stones is unknown. They are described in more detail in the main entry for the folly (MA121-004001-).
