There was one of these found in Antrim and one was found in Scotland I believe.

There was also found chalk inscribed plaques/amulets up on Windmill Hill by Keiller, they are of the 'fir-tree' type. Isobel Smith illustrated them....

If ceramic is considered a species of stone (it isn't - but could be) then there are a heck of a lot of stone plaques about.
