Hi Argentum,
Indeed it is.
Apparently the correct spelling is 'Stevens'

Interesting thread because I have seen this incuse mark attributed to Richard Stevens on silver items on Duvallier's, antiquesilverspoons and I think Weldon's websites but it's not the mark shown in the book Cork Silver and Gold, where it appears as RS in a rectangular punch. Did Richard Stevens use two sets of marks?

Hi Scorpio,
Indeed he did. Douglas Bennett, the doyen of Irish silver shows this exact mark on p.191 of 'Collecting Irish Silver'.
