The National Monuments Service's description
Located towards the top of the SE-facing slope of Snowtown Hill at the E end of the Fourknocks ridge. Three pieces of dressed stone that might be Dundry are built into a masonry wall at a water trough. One has a chamfered edge that may have come from a window or doorway surround, and there are two small capitals with stiff leaf decoration that may have come from attached pilasters of a reredos. They are probably of thirteenth century date, but where they came from originally is not known. They were first reported by Ian Lennon.
