This really took some finding and we'd almost given up on it when I saw it. Carved into the upper surface of this 1.4m (L) x 1m (W) x 1m (H) rock are 6 large cups (almost of bullaun size), one small cup and one much enlarged solution pit that is around 20cm deep.

Two lines are cut across the surface between several of the larger cups and diverge around the smaller one.

The siting of this stone so close to the lough does give me the impression of an early form of bullain stone.
