Located at the site of a church (MA117-009001-), in the N half of a graveyard (MA117-009002-). This bullaun stone consists of a block of sandstone (Wth 0.4m by 0.42m at top, 0.14m by 0.3m at base; H 0.26m) with a bowl-shaped, circular depression (diam. 0.25m; D 0.1m) in the upper surface. The stone is roughly square in horizontal cross-section at top but narrows at the base, so that in vertical cross-section it is roughly V-shaped, with a blunted base. It has rounded or gently curved edges, except on one side (now at W) where there is a sheer vertical face. The top of the circular depression grades gently into the top surface of the stone; the sides incline inwards steeply to a narrow base. The bullaun stone is set on a small pedestal of cement, on top of the low rebuilt E wall of a church (MA117-009001-).
