The National Monuments Service's description
Redington (1911-12, 183) recorded 'a rough granite boulder 2ft. [c. 0.6m] by 1ft. 2in. [c. 0.36m]', which was built into the angle of a wall near Kilcornan House (GA095-056001-). There was a round basin-shaped hole 1ft. [c. 0.3m] broad and 6in. [c.0.15m] deep, rudely hollowed out' of it. It was similar to a font or holy water stoup in 'Killeely old Church' (GA103-131003-), which was also cut in a rough granite boulder (ibid., 67). Not located.
