I was given directions to the stone from a nearby house and it was here that I was told that it is known local as St. Patrick's Knee, a common enough name for a bullaun stone. The directions were close enough for me to spot where the stone is now hidden and locate it: near to a stream in a copse of trees
The stone itself is an odd one. The upper surface is encrusted with quartz pebbles. I've never seen a boulder like this used for a bullaun before.
There are two basins in a line along the long axis of the boulder, both of which are elongated and are probably enhanced natural hollows. The boulder is 1m long, 50cm tall and 40cm deep.
A broken cross slab stands next to one end of the stone that has the lower half of a very worn cross carved on it in relief.
