The National Monuments Service's description
Originally located at a fork in a laneway on a steep NW-facing slope in the wood in Reatagh townland in Waterford (WA004-023----), overlooking a small valley with a stream. The stone was removed to its present location for safe keeping some years before 1989. The bullaun is a D-shaped conglomerate stone (dims. 0.8m x 0.5m; max. T 0.35m) with one oval basin (dims. 0.26m x 0.24m; D 0.9m). According to one local source the stone is called the 'Hatter's Stone' as felt hats were moulded in the basin.
