Originally from St Kieran's church (TN010-084001), Modreeny, this bullaun is presently at the front of St Michael and John's Roman Catholic church, situated to SE of Cloughjordan village. A roughly circular conglomerate boulder (H 0.36m x 0.82m x 0.72m) with a central circular depression (D 0.15m; 0.4m x 0.36m) on the upper surface. The bullaun rests on the plinth of a reused limestone block.
