The National Monuments Service's description
About 5m W of the Romanesque doorway of Clone parish church (WX015-023001-) and within the graveyard is a grave-marker (dims 0.54m x 0.18m) with a rough point on top (H 0.82m) which has a lightly pecked curvilinear design on its E face occupying most of the stone. It consists of at least four arcs of closely-spaced lines curving up one side of the stone, around the top and down the other side in an oval pattern that is not closed visibly above the ground. It is undoubtedly prehistoric, and most resembles passage tomb art.
