This stone has been moved from elsewhere to its current location. The tall, pointed boulder must have been earthfast at one time.
It now stands below a huge beech tree in the grounds of a country house. It is oddly surrounded by a modern stone circle formed from tall, square-sectioned granite pillars.
The stone has a single conical bullaun at its apex, which is 20-25cm diameter and around 30cm deep. Conical bullauns seem to be very popular in County Carlow - I'm not sure that they should really be classed as bullauns and think that they might have performed a different function to the more common hemispherical ones.
