This is exactly the same motif used in the Ballinloughan Rock 4 (LH006-119----). The upper third of the stone is divided off by a broad groove reminiscent of the entrance markers in the Boyne Valley passage graves. The shape of the stone suggests that it was used as a kerb stone in a passage grave, then recut at the base and reused in the Bronze Age as a marker stone. The stone has been removed to the National Museum (see also LH006-033003-). (Tempest 1931, 287-9)
