The National Monuments Service's description
Built into the roadside face of the wall of an abandoned schoolyard. Rectangular limestone piece (dims 1.48m x 0.35m) with a tableau carved in false relief depicting five human figures, a cat, a dog and a house with the inscription 'Patk. Spallon built this cottage 1814'. It was the overmantel from a nearby house, and local folklore interprets it as the tale of a failed eviction.
