The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on driveway leading to Oldtown House. Church site (WM017-053----) and abbey site (WM017-054----) located to NW and N, respectively. Possible ogham stone described in 1978 as a large heavy flagstone which is reputed to have an ogham inscription. There are some markings along one axis/angle, but it is difficult to assess their true nature due to the fact that the stone is lying ‘face’ down’ (ASI File).
