On a N-facing spur at the base of a ridge running roughly E-W. An earthfast bullaun (dims. 0.93m N-S x 1.36m E-W; max. H above ground 0.13m) composed of sandstone with quartz pebble inclusions. It has two large depressions (E depression: dims. 0.32m x 0.31m; D 0.35m; W depression: dims. 0.35m x 0.34m; D 0.28m) and one small, shallow depression (dims. 0.18m x 0.15m; D 0.05m). The E bowl of the bullaun is broken out on top. The bullaun is surrounded by a rubble stone wall, referred to as a cell or clochan (TS075-023006-).
