The National Monuments Service's description

Set upright as a grave-marker in the N part of Moybologue graveyard (CV034-046007-) is a stone (dims 0.3m x 0.17m; H 0.5m) with a single hollow (diam. 0.15m; D 0.05m) on a S-facing broad side. This could be the small bullaun stone that was reported as being at the gate of the graveyard (Davies 1948, 114).
