The National Monuments Service's description
In Drumrat graveyard (SL039-074002-), adjacent to a recently-built entrance. A square block of red sandstone (0.8m x 0.8m; T 0.33m) set on top of a brick and concrete stand. A circular water-filled depression (diam. 0.33m; D 0.15m) is cut into a corner of the flat upper surface. It is now used as a stoup and the bowl contains some coins. According to local information, this bullaun stone is said to have come from Killined townland c. 2.3km to S (pers. comm. M. A. Timoney).
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).
