The National Monuments Service's description

On a SW-facing slope overlooking the Poulaphuca Reservoir. Currently used as grazing land.
One of two bullaun stones (WI005-120001-, WI005-120002-) within a short distance of one another. This bullaun appears to have been uprooted some twenty years ago or more but was only noticed recently. It had been pushed to the edge of the field, probably from a position E of its current position. It consists of a large granite boulder (1m x 1.75m), originally probably earthfast and only partially exposed. At one end there is a large oval basin (diam. c. 0.49m; D 0.19m).
