The National Monuments Service's description

Situated c. 120m S of Killinaboy Church (CL017-020001-) in a field of rough grass on the W side of the road. A double bullaun stone found subsequent to field clearance (Killinaboy History and Heritage Group 2014, 68). A mound of field clearance material including very large stones lies c. 90m W of the bullaun. The stone is an irregularly shaped, earthfast, limestone, boulder (0.98m x 0.88m) with two circular, water-filled hollows on its upper surface. Each hollow is round at the base with sloping sides. The W hollow (diam. at top 0.24m; D 0.16m) and the E hollow (diam. at top 0.27m; D 0.17m) are 0.13m apart.
