Anyone have any opinions on the Balnakeilly Stone above Moulin?

http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/2052

CANMORE suggests that it may have been erected in the mid to late 19th century to adorn the gateway to the Balnakeilly estate, but tempers this with the observation that its position back from the road might make this unlikely.

Looking at it "in the flesh", it certainly looks like the genuine article. From the road it's virtually invisible, blending in with the trees between which it stands, and it certainly doesn't strike me as a prominent feature to adorn a gateway.

Cheers
Andy
