The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a W-facing slope overlooking the Owenmore River. Described by MacDonagh (1936, 195) as 'a large stone, having on one of its sides a holy water font of primitive style'. MacDonagh also noted that the three-cornered garden in which the font was located was known as 'Teampullmaol' (the bare church) (ibid.). The bullaun stone has not been precisely located.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
