Kerris Spiral Stone is built into the side wall of a barn and is thought by some to be an ancient carved stone and by others as a re-used (from an older building) Kneeler stone. It was listed by Russell in 1971 as a carved stone with an incised spiral built into the wall of a barn at kerris, For the record I myself don't believe this stone is an ancient one but you never know!
