This mighty bullaun stone stands with an odd collection of other large stone in the field to the west of the cross. Alongside it there is a square-cut basin in the top of a massive, tall stone - presumably an earthfast font - and an upright slab with an usually placed small hollow that may have been a graveslab.

The bullaun stone is a huge one at around 2m long x 1.2m across. It has a nice single bullaun that is placed roughly in its centre.
