The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on heather covered bog in upland area with good views of Lough Macnean to the E. This is an area where the landcover is dominated by blanket bog and heath. Large irregular shaped boulder with three basins (diam. 0.16m x 0.15m: diam. 0.14m x D 0.14m: diam. 0.2m x 0.2m) on its surface, the last basin is situated on the edge of the rock. This rock is sitting on top of another stone which also has a basin (diam. 0.2m x D 0.2m) directly underneath in fact it is in line with the basin above which is situated on the edge of the rock. Nearby bullauns (LE009-011001-; LE009-011----) are located 190m and 250m to the SE respectively. This feature may have been caused by natural erosion of the carboniferous sandstone and may not be the result of human activity.
