The National Monuments Service's description

In the field surrounding the S portion of Garrabaun church (TN018-010001-) and graveyard (TN018-010003-), c. 40m from the W wall of the graveyard and within the SW sector of the possible ecclesiastical enclosure (TN018-010002-), which is 115m in diameter N-S. This is an ecclesiastical site founded by Augustinian canons in the twelfth/thirteenth century (Gleeson 1915, 347).
The bullaun, identified and reported by Derek Ryan, consists of a roughly triangular-shaped earthfast boulder with four deep circular depressions in a row along the length of the boulder’s surface.
