A roughly dressed, rectangular limestone slab with a single, deep basin (diam. 0.32m; D. 0.35m), is now cemented on the top of a wall retaining the S bank of a small stream c. 120m to the S of the early monastic site (KD014-026017-). (Bradley et al. 1986, vol. 2, 149)

Likely dating to the early medieval period, this stone may have had a ritual or practical function, possibly associated with the nearby monastic site. The deep basin could have been used for water-related ceremonies or as a font.
