Bullauns are found at early Christian sites across Ireland, their exact purpose debated, though they are often associated with cursing, healing, or the grinding of grain and pigment. The pairing of such a stone with a graveyard entrance is quietly suggestive of long, layered use, the kind of site where the pre-Christian and the Christian appear to have simply got on with coexisting.

When the burial ground was inspected in July 1983, it measured roughly 25 metres north to south and 20 metres east to west, occupying an east-facing slope in open pastureland. Its shape was irregular, defined by a stone wall with an entrance at the south-east. Inside, several headstones and small randomly spaced slabs were visible among the undergrowth. Around 100 metres to the north-east lay a holy well, a further sign that this was a place considered significant long before any of its surviving markers were put in the ground. A reference in O'Flanagan's 1927 work places it within a documented local tradition, though the site itself speaks in the quieter language of field archaeology.

What makes the site's current situation particularly interesting is that it no longer exists as a discrete feature in the landscape. Aerial imagery shows that the older, irregularly shaped enclosure has since been absorbed into a larger graveyard, its original boundary walls presumably dismantled or simply overwhelmed. The bullaun stone beside the entrance remains the most tangible trace of what the earlier place was, a worn boulder that has outlasted the wall it once marked.
