The National Monuments Service's description
Possibly associated with the medieval church (GA125-023001-). On initial inspection in September 1985, this large roughly worked subrectangular bullaun stone (L 0.6m; Wth 0.5m; H 0.45m) was located across the road from church (see GA125-022003- for original location). It was subsequently moved to its present location at the S side of entrance to St Joseph's Church. On re-inspection in July 2011, its off-centre basin (diam. 0.66m) was planted with flowers.
