This is a bullaun stone, a type of early medieval or possibly prehistoric carved basin found across Ireland, often near ecclesiastical sites or burial grounds, and frequently associated in local tradition with healing, cursing, or the petitioning of saints. The connection to the graveyard here is quietly telling.

The slab itself is modest: roughly 1.5 metres long and 0.8 metres wide, lying only 20 centimetres thick. The basin cut into its northern half is subcircular, measuring around 35 centimetres east to west and 30 centimetres north to south, narrowing as it descends to a base diameter of about 15 centimetres and a depth of 18 centimetres. That narrowing form is fairly typical of worked bullaun basins, distinguishing them from natural weathering hollows. A small fissure runs off from the basin towards the northwest, a detail that seems incidental but draws the eye once you know to look for it. The stone sits roughly 3 metres west of a small stream, a proximity to water that recurs at many bullaun sites across the country.
