In dense thickets, c. 115m NW of Teampall Asurnaí (GA110-084001-). Known locally as Tobar Asurnaí, it consists of a water-filled granite bullaun, oval in plan (0.67m by 0.53m), embedded in the ground surface and flanked on E side by some stones. Immediately to NW are two thorn bushes, one of which is revered locally as the saint's bush (GA110-082----). Close by to ESE is a cross-inscribed pillar (GA110-082002-) possibly marking the 'reputed grave of the saint' mentioned by Robinson (1980). (O'Flanagan 1927a, Vol. 3, 370)
