The National Monuments Service's description
This bullaun stone was apparently brought to Toureen Peakaun c. 1990 for safekeeping from Ballydrehid which is the adjacent townland to the E. It is currently within the enclosed area of the holy well at Toureen Peakaun (TS075-023005-) where it is recorded as TS075-023073-. It is located 2m S of the well and is composed of sandstone with quartz pebble inclusions (dims. H 0.58m; Wth 0.5m; T 0.37m). The stone has been set on edge as it contains two circular depressions, on opposing faces. That on the E face is 0.29m x 0.3m; D 0.12m. That on the W face is 0.29m x 0.25m; D 0.07m. The precise location it came from in Ballydrehid is unknown.
