The National Monuments Service's description

Located in Moanaha Glen, immediately S of Nenagh River. Formerly only the flat surface of the embedded bullaun stone was visible with a circular depression (0.3m x 0.33m x 0.15m D) close to one edge (Raftery 1967, 219). This field has been reclaimed and the boulder lifted to the adjacent riverbank to the N. The boulder (0.98m x 0.86m x 0.76m) subsequently fell into the river, c. 4m below the bank, landing right side up. A cross-inscribed stone (TN027-166002) was found adjacent to the bullaun stone.
Bullaun stone described in the inventory under SMR number of it's original location TN027-166001.
