The National Monuments Service's description
In the garden of a house. A flat-based, roughly circular stone (0.5m x 0.56m; D 0.2m) with a shallow central circular hollow (0.38m x 0.45m) in its upper surface. The relatively large size of the central hollow leaves a narrow raised rim of stone on its perimeter with a gently rounded profile, part of which is chipped away. The provenance of the stone is unknown. There is another bullaun stone (MA073-042----) 170m to W and an ecclesiastical enclosure (MA073-011001-) is 125m to NW.
