The National Monuments Service's description
This 'bullaun stone was unearthed during road widening in 1984 and has now been set standing against the new wall on the W side of the roadway. It is a large stone, 1.8m x 1.2m x .2m thick, with a large circular depression, .38m in diameter and .08m deep, on one face. A longer depression beside this latter may be natural.'
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 855. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
