Sunday, 20th June 2004

Opposite the National school building and outside the graveyard, built into the wall surrounding the tree in the centre of the road is a bullaun stone.

It is a flat slab measuring 1m x 50cm with the bullaun carved in its centre. The depression is 20cm in diameter and hemi-spherical. There is a crack running across the entire width of the stone, through which bindweed grows and into which someone had shoved a piece of chewing gum (perhaps in a stupid attempt to hold the two halves together?)
