The National Monuments Service's description
Circa 100m to the NE of the church (GA103-118001-) at the monastic complex in Drumacoo, this bullaun stone is incorporated into the delimiting edge of a former roadway (GA103-118010-) that originally provided access to the church (information from Dr C. Cunniffe, 2011). It consists of a limestone boulder (L 1m; H 0.3m) that is roughly triangular in plan and varies in width from 0.65m at the W end to 0.5m at the E end. It is 0.35m high. A circular bowl (diam. 0.23m; D 0.17m) occupies its W end.
