The National Monuments Service's description
In pastureland sloping steeply to the S and overlooking woodland. Aspect is limited to the N. This bullaun lies the E end of a graveyard (GA124-005----). It is set in the ground and comprises an irregularly shaped moss-covered boulder (1.2m N-S; 0.9m E-W; H 0.4m). Two bowls are visible: the N one (diam. 0.4m; D 0.12m) is circular in plan, while the S one (0.45m E-W; 0.35m N-S; D 0.18m), which is filled with water, is oval.
