The National Monuments Service's description
Two decorated stones from St Peter's church (ME028-017----) were incorporated into Mosney House when the camp was developed in 1949 (Ward 1965, 255). One is a decorated spandrel (ME028-012003-) and the other (ME028-012002-) is an armorial stone representing Barnwall and another family represented by a toothed cross. The shield is supported by two angels, and is probably 16th century in date.
