Even when you know that this is right beside the road it is very easy to drive right past it - I did. This absolutely gargantuan bullaun stone rests in a little semi-circular enclosure between a hedge and a bridge (over the innevitably close stream).
It is a disk 1m across and perhaps 40cm thick. Six huge bullauns are carved into its upper surface, sadly only three of which hold water. The road side position really does do damage to the power of this stone, but even so, it is a wonderous thing.
It is obvious that not many people bother to stop here as the three water holding stones were full of last autumns leaves, slowly mulching and rotting, probably helping to erode the stone even more.
The views over the Glen of Aherlow towards the Galty Mountains are simply delicious.
