The National Monuments Service's description
Set into a wall in the garden of a large house on Newtown Hill, Tramore. A rectangular plaque (H 0.4m; Wth 0.36m), known as the Apostle stone, has three carved figures. Each figure is robed and has a halo. One has a crook, another a staff, and the third a sword or short staff. It may be a moulded copy of a panel, but if so, the original is not known.
