No visible stone, empty field, failed measurement, or withheld answer remains behind that border.
Situated on a gentle E-facing slope in rolling pasture with good views to E, S and W, c. 50m S of Inch church (LI014-070001-). Horizontal conglomerate stone (H 1.2m; Wth 2.55m; Th. 0.6m), oriented NW-SE, with an oval depression (0.48m E-W; 0.4m N-S; D 0.4m), half filled with water, on the upper surface of the stone.

Probably dates to the early medieval period, associated with Christian or pre-Christian ritual use. The oval depression, or bullaun, may have been used for ritual purification or as a holy water basin, linked to the nearby church.
