The National Monuments Service's description
This bullaun stone lies to the NNW of the graveyard (GA006-12200-) and c. 3m to the W of a small stream.
It is visible in the N half of a subrectangular limestone slab (L 1.5m; Wth 0.8m; T 0.2m). The basin (0.35m E-W; 0.3m N-S; D 0.18m) is subcircular in plan and narrows towards the base (diam. 0.15m). A small fissure runs off it at NW.
