Provenance
Discovery: 1995 Fionnbarr Moore (2017b): 24. ‘The sharp contrast between the lower part of the stone and the slender upper portion, with its sharper angles, suggests that the stone may have been roughly dressed for the purpose of being inscribed.’ Found lying in the bed of a nearby stream when discovered, was subsequently erected adjacent to the place of discovery by the OPW (Invent vol. 1).
