The National Monuments Service's description
In 1958 a beehive quernstone (RO048-041002-) and a rather shapeless stone basin which may be a bullaun stone were found in a field where there was a tradition of a church (RO048-041001-) (NMI file). The basin is not described, but it would appear from photographs to be a large rather shapeless boulder(ext. dim. c. 0.6m) with a straight-sided basin (dim. c. 0.3m; D c. 0.15m). It is too large to be the base of a pot-quern or the font now kept at Lisbaun (RO048-197----), and its present location is unknown.
