The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on elevated site c. 150m to N of Main Street, in the town of Moate. Not depicted on OS mapping. Bullaun stone described in 1983 as located outside the W wall of the Quaker burial ground (WM030-113----), just on the W side of the townland boundary between Cartronkeel and Aghanargit. A large bullaun stone (approx. T 0.3m) with two depressions is sitting on a pile of collapsed rubble. An oval-shaped depression (dims. L 0.5m; Wth 0.35m; D 0.3m) is visible on the centre of the stone. The second depression (dims. L 0.35m; Wth 0.25m; D 0.2m) is on the N edge of the surface, having been cut in from the edge.
