The National Monuments Service's description
In reclaimed pasture, on a steep W-facing slope. According to local information, a hollow containing water was visible in the upper surface of a rectangular quartz stone (12in [0.3m] x 28in [0.71m] x 28in [0.71m]) which was situated on top of a mound in this location. The water is locally reputed to cure warts. Following extensive field clearance in this area, there was no visible trace of this possible bullaun stone when the location was inspected in 2000.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
