Located on a wall at a farmhouse, c. 40m SW of a church (MA063-050001-) and graveyard (MA063-050002-). A trapezoidal-shaped piece of sandstone (L 0.28m; Wth 0.26m at one end, 0.18m at other) with two small shallow indentations on one broad surface, which according to local tradition represent the knee prints of St Attracta. A holy well (MA063-043001-) dedicated to St Attracta is located 200m to SW. According to tradition, the stone must be kept in the vicinity of the graveyard; to move it brings bad luck, and the stone will always return to its home.
