After King's Mountain (County Meath) I was probably expecting too much from this stone, marked on the OS as 'decorated stone'. It is in fact one of several stones that remain of a tomb kerb, but is not of the same calibre as King's Mountain unless there is a lot more markings beneath the moss.

On the inner face are at least 7 shallow cup marks scattered in a seemingly random fashion. Still, nice one to find and verify its existence.
