The National Monuments Service's description
This bullaun stone lies against the W side of a N-S running field wall, a few metres N of the main Dingle to Killarney road. It is irregularly-shaped with roughly vertical sides and a flat upper surface. It measures .58m long x .45m wide x .27m thick. A circular depression, with almost vertical sides and a flat bottom, is centrally positioned in the upper surface. It is .24m in diameter and .09m deep. A narrow channel, .15m deep and .02 to .03m wide, extends from the upper edge of the depression to the edge of the stone.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 963. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
