In the porch of the Roman Catholic church at Tullaghan. Originally from a cashel at Doobally, probably (LE001-035----), c. 1.3km to the ESE. This is a globular sandstone boulder (H 0.52m) which has a flat top (dims 0.58 x 0.54m) with a single basin (diam. 0.35m; D 0.2m). There are traces of pecking in the basin and around the top of the stone, and it may have been used as a stoup. A limestone plaque (LE001-063002-) from the same ringfort has been installed on the wall of the porch. It has an incised inscription in Latin commemorating Rev. Eugene Magowan who founded a chapel in '177?'. (Ó Gallachair 1958, 28-9)
