The National Monuments Service's description
Situated at Lorrha Roman Catholic church at the SW end of the village adjacent to the Dominican Friary (TN004-010001-). Bullaun stone at the NE corner of the church is a conglomerate boulder (dims. 0.86m x 0.76m x 0. 42). One face appears to be split. It has a very steep-sided central bowl (dims. 0.58m x 0.42m x 0.25m D) with a relatively flat base. Adjoining one side of the bowl there is a shallow semicircular hollow (diam. 0.42m x 0.1m D).
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
