The National Monuments Service's description
Located in a graveyard (MA026-003002-), at the SE corner of a church (MA026-003001-). The bullaun stone consists of a roughly triangular-shaped slab, 1.9m in length, and 0.2m in thickness. It is 1.35m wide at its broadest end but narrows to 0.3m at the other end. On the upper surface, off centre towards the broader end of the slab, is a shallow circular depression (diam. 0.35m; D 0.13m). The upper sides of the depression are rather rough and natural in appearance.
