The National Monuments Service's description
Situated within a penal chapel (CL002-063002-) set into a SW-facing hillside. A small bullaun stone is mentioned by Cunningham (1980, 27-8) within the ruins of a small penal chapel. On inspection in 1997 the building was found to be collapsed and much overgrown and the bullaun stone was no longer in evidence.
