The National Monuments Service's description
On a S-facing slope c. 25m from W bank of a stream flowing roughly N-S, in pasture. According to Power (1908, 9-10) the field is known as the 'Field of the Early Church Site' and was sacred to St. Bearachan. The sandstone bullaun (Wth 1.12m; H 0.6m; T 0.33m) is incorporated in the W face of a N-S field boundary. It has two circular depressions on its exposed surface, one 0.3m diam. X 0.09m D, the other 0.27m diam. X 0.06m D. It is located 0.62m E of a mass rock (TS078-061005-) and has a stone cross (TS078-061002-) resting on it.
