This is definitely the most 'untampered with' stone of this group of three. It is a fully rounded bloulder with a single bullaun, measuring 30cm across, set in the highest point.

A few meters away is another large boulder that has been split in two, but left in situ. Perhaps abandoned half way through preparation of yet more bullaun stones or an indication that the area underwent some clearance at some point and that there may have once been more bullaun stones nearby.
