The stone is relatively modest in size, roughly sixty-three centimetres across and less than thirty centimetres high, but the bowl cut into it is substantial: twenty centimetres deep and thirty-two centimetres wide, suggesting it was worked with some purpose and considerable effort. Nobody now knows where it originally stood.

This is a bullaun stone, a type of ancient carved rock found widely across Ireland, typically associated with early Christian or pre-Christian ritual use. The bowls or hollows, known as bullauins, were sometimes used for grinding, sometimes believed to hold water with curative or cursing properties, and often linked to the sacred landscape of a particular townland or monastery. This example, recorded at Ballyconry, now sits to the east of Damerville House, a nineteenth-century structure, but its presence there appears to be incidental rather than original. It was presumably moved at some point, possibly during landscaping or agricultural work, and its earlier context, whether a church site, a holy well, or some older ceremonial location, has been lost.
