The National Monuments Service's description
This roughly oval granite bullaun stone (L 0.78m; Wth 0.55m; visible H 0.6m) was found in a pile of rubble in the NW corner of a garden. It was subsequently moved and is now a landscape feature in the garden. It is set c. 0.3m deep in the ground. The central circular depression (diam. 0.3m; D 0.3m) is used for growing flowers. The bullaun may be associated with the medieval church (GA114-001003-) and round tower (GA114-001005-) c. 110m to the NNW.
