Situated in a very overgrown area at the N end of Inis Cealtra c. 50m from the N shore. A bullaun stone, not fully accessible (c. 0.7m NE-SW x 1.2m NW-SE; H at front 0.22m) with a circular basin (diam. 0.5m; D 0.16m), broken at the SE end. Described (Macalister 1916-17, 143-4), citing a letter from a Mr. Hibbert, as ‘sandstone, with occasional small, rounded, quartz pebbles in it; undoubtedly it has been shaped [to a hexagonal form]. The flat faces and angles are too clean and sharp not to have been worked. There is a lump on one of the angles which is the only portion not cut away. The bottom is shouldered off all round, so far as I could feel.’
