The National Monuments Service's description

Currently housed in Cashel Folk Museum. This bullaun stone was found in Kilshane townland where there is a medieval church (TS067-036----) and graveyard (TS067-036001-). The precise original location is unknown. The bullaun consists of a roughly round-shaped sandstone and quartz conglomerate boulder (dims 0.72m x0.72m; D 0.45m) with a deep circular depression (diam. 0.38m; D 0.29m) to one side of the boulder. The side of the depression nearest the edge has broken away, reducing the depth of the depression to 0.04m.
