What is recorded here

Located near the N boundary wall of the graveyard (DU023-023020-). The granite slab (L 0.79m, Wth 0.47m - 0.40m, T 0.07m) is broken and is decorated on one face only. Near the broken end is a round-bottomed cupmark (D 0.06m). An incised line extends down the centre of the slab, through the cupmark and on each side of this line are six diagonal lines, forming a rough herringbone pattern (Ó hÉailidhe, 1982, 139-40, Fig. 53b; Swords, K. ed. 2009, 88-9).
