Stone sculpture in Unknown is a stone sculpture in Unknown, County Sligo, Ireland. The 16 by 12 inch fragment shows a sixteenth-century knight in full armour and spurs, holding an axe-like weapon in his right hand and carrying a sword at his left side while sitting astride a horse. A five-line inscription fragment appears to the right of the figure, and the carving could have formed part of a tomb surround, but the stone's current location is unknown.
