The National Monuments Service's description

Immediately to the E of a clochan (GA110-063001-). This broken fragment (0.46m by 0.42m) of a granite bullaun stone, with a shallow basin (L 0.28m; Wth 0.24m; D 0.06m), lies immediately to the E of a clochan (GA110-063001-). Kinahan (1869, 28) suggested that it may have been moved from 'Temple-an-chealhrairaluinn' (see GA110-086002-).
