The National Monuments Service's description
Two parts of a possible broken bullaun stone are visible on top of the gate pier of the gateway leading to Tober Moling (KE032-009----). The two pieces of stone when placed together form a shallow depression but they do not quite match up and may belong to two different features. One of the broken stones has a straight face externally which suggest that this was a medieval church stoup while the other rounded natural looking stone may have been a broken bullaun stone which was then matched to the broken stoup and placed on top of the stone pier of the gateway leading down to the holy well.
