What is recorded here

Now sitting in the front garden of a house, and recorded by Gary Dempsey. A cylindrical stone (max. diam. 0.5m; H 0.29m) has a basin on top (diam. c. 0.3m), but the sides have been decorated with a number of horizontal mouldings (diam. of base c. 0.4m). The stone was recovered from a ditch in Ardsallagh Beg, just outside Roscommon town c. 2000. It may have been made in the style of the capitals of Roscommon Abbey (ME039-055001-), c. 700m to the WNW, although at twice the scale, and it could have been created by the inmates of the workhouse, just to the W of its findspot.
