It is described by Maher (1997, 53) as a fragment of a slab (L 0.9m; Wth 0.44m; average T 0.16m) with 'part of two original edges, including the bottom one and the dexter one remain at right angles to one another'. Two of the edges have an undercut chamfer (Wth 0.13m). There is visible inscription or design. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 3 June 2014
