It came from Leggetsrath, a townland in County Kilkenny, and whatever structure produced it is either gone or no longer identifiable. The fragment itself measures roughly half a metre tall and just over forty centimetres wide, modest in scale but carefully worked.

The block is cut from fossiliferous limestone, a stone that preserves the outlines of ancient marine organisms within its fabric, giving even a plain surface a faint geological biography. Along one edge runs a chamfer, an angled cut that bevels the corner rather than leaving it square, a detail associated with refined architectural stonework rather than purely functional masonry. More striking still is the survival of fine plaster render on the surface, the remains of a lime-based coating that would once have given the finished wall or opening a smooth, finished appearance. That combination of dressed stone and render suggests a building of some pretension, though nothing in what survives ties it to a specific structure, patron, or date. It is now held in the Office of Public Works store in Kilkenny, catalogued as depot stone carving number KD037, one of many displaced fragments that have outlasted the contexts that gave them meaning.
