In grassland, just below ridge of low hillock on NE facing slope. Bullaun stones (WM035-007----; WM035-007001-) 440m and 460m respectively to NNW. Ballynahown Court 580m to NE. An irregular-shaped earthfast boulder (1.15m x 1.25m; H 0.45m) with two bowl-shaped hollows on its upper surface. The sides of the hollow have a reddish appearance. The SE hollow (top diam. 0.33m; base diam. 0.15m; D 0.09m) is 0.19m from the NW hollow (top diam. 0.38m; base diam. 0.15m; D 0.05m) which is not as well preserved. The remains of a third shallow depression (diam. 0.29m) can be seen on the N quadrant of the boulder surface. A double row of pitted dots can be seen running along the N face of the side of the boulder. The significance of this feature is uncertain. This boulder is now located in open grassland and was located 20m E of a tree-ring now levelled which is depicted on the revised 1910 ed. OS 25-inch map. This tree-ring is not depicted on the 1838 ed. OS 6-inch map and was probably a landscape feature associated with nearby Ballynahown Court.
