The National Monuments Service's description
Discovered in 2011 reconstruction of the roadside wall directly opposite the entrance to the depot at Knowth (formerly Robinson's Farm). The stone contains a beautifully executed spiral at one end. Its original provenance is unknown and it is impossible to state if the stone had been used as a lintel, corbel or othostat. The stone is currently located in one of the outbuildings within the farm complex.
