The National Monuments Service's description

Situated above the steep W-facing slope of the SSW-NNE Owenasack stream. According to Power (1952, 23) the name Killeenagh is derived from Cillíneach - the little church, and a church (WA034-041001-) and bullaun stone were identified here (Power 1952, 23). The bullaun stone is known of locally but is now lost and buried in spoil.
