It is anything but. The stone carries two sets of multiple circles with radial grooves, a form of prehistoric rock art that appears across Ireland and Atlantic Europe, typically associated with the Neolithic or Bronze Age, though its precise meaning remains unresolved. What sets this particular example apart is less the carving itself than its history of discovery: it was found only a few inches below the surface of a field, roughly thirty metres east of Tullagee house, hidden just out of sight for an unknown length of time before it was brought to light.

The find was documented by Tempest in 1933, who recorded both its original location and its subsequent move to the lawn of Tullagee house. That act of relocation, common enough in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries when landowners sometimes treated discovered antiquities as curiosities to be displayed rather than left in the ground, means the stone now occupies a setting quite removed from its archaeological context. Whatever relationship it once had with the surrounding landscape, the field boundaries, or any other buried features nearby, was broken when it was lifted and re-erected closer to the house.
