Fragment of a stone described by Robert Cochrane as, 'another curious stone shows parts of two grooves 3/8 inch [0.09m] wide and 5/16 inch [0.08m] deep. The portion remains of the grooves is 2" [0.05m] long, They may have been used for sharpening pointed tools' (Anon. 1913, 48).
This may be the same stone catalogued by Crawford in 1913 as slab (i) and described as a ‘fragment 11 in. [0.28m] by 6½ in. [0.15m], incised with the letters ..td, and below them . . r’ (Crawford 1913, 329). Listed by Macalister in 1949 as slab no. 875 and described as a fragmentary slab with 'the ends of two lines of writing' (Macalister 1949, 80).
See attached 1912 OPW drawing of stone with two incised lines (Anon. 1913, 47).
