The National Monuments Service's description
On a S-facing slope in pastureland, in the SW corner of a field. This bullaun comprises a roughly worked conglomerate boulder (0.8m N-S; 0.7m E-W; H 0.55m). The bowl (Wth 0.4m; L 0.35m; D 0.18m) is roughly oval in plan. A crude groove is visible on the W end of the boulder. The bullaun was brought to our attention by Dr C. Cunniffe. A rath (GA116-086----) lies c. 125m to the NNE.
