I had a feeling that I wouldn't be able to find this stone as I approached, but gladly I was wrong. It did take some spotting though because it is very well hidden by a clump of tall grass and small trees that stand between it and the road.
The stone is very peculiar in that the top surface slopes. The taller end points to the stream some 20m to the south. At this end there is a shallow bullaun around 25cm across and 10cm deep, which holds water. A little further down the sloping top is a much shallower bullaun that is hardly discernable, especially beneath the thick, fluffy moss coverage.
