The National Monuments Service's description

Located on the floodplain of the NW-SE Licky River with the stream c. 200m to the NE, and at the bottom of a N-facing, grass-covered slope. It is described as an old church site where a bullaun stone of limestone and a small cross-inscribed stone with an inscription (WA035-016003-) were found (Power 1910). The bullaun stone was moved to the R. C. cemetery in Dungarvan before 1907 (Power 1907d, 130), but cannot be traced now.
