The National Monuments Service's description
Beside a small stream in a very marshy area. A subrectangular bullaun stone (L c. 1.2m; Wth c. 0.8m; H at S 0.25m; H at N 0.05m) c. 12m S of another bullaun which is deeply submerged in water (WI022-007----). This bullaun has two circular basins. One basin (Wth 0.25m x 0.33m; D 0.15m) is split in two (E-W) where the stone was split (drill-hole evident). A second shallow basin (Wth 0.24m; D 0.07m) is 0.28m from the S edge and 0.11m from the W edge of the boulder.
