The National Monuments Service's description
This bullaun stone was removed from a holy well (TS050-019002-) N of Toem village and placed in the front garden of a cottage on the N side of the Cappawhite-Toem road, just outside Toem village (Seymour 1917, 39). Another bullaun stone (TS050-022----) was also removed from the holy well and is located c. 1km N of the well. The bullaun consists of a large boulder (dims. 0.74m x 0.52m x 0.22m) with a single deep central hollow (dims. 0.43m x 0.3m x 0.12m). Since the bullaun was inspected in 2000 the house and garden have been extensively renovated and the bullaun is no longer visible. The present location of the bullaun stone is unknown.
