Built into the outer face of what was originally the N gable of the fish curing station in Roundstone. An extension was subsequently built against the gable. An inscribed stone bearing the date 1731 and a number of incised lines was brought to the attention of Mr Tim Robinson (pers. comm. 1986), who forwarded a rubbing of it to Prof. E. Rynne, Dept. of Archaeology, UCG. Prof. Rynne (pers. comm. 1987) noted that the stone had been reused and that, apart from the date, the carving was difficult to interpret. He suggested that it might be a version of a schematic plough that was found on many graveslabs in Co. Galway or that it could be some sort of guild insignia, such as can be see on some of the armorial-bearing stones around Galway city.
