Sunday, 3rd July 2005

To the south of the round tower there is a fine pair of bullaun stones. The top of one of them is at ground level and is slowly being covered up. Without some care this will soon disappear beneath the grass.

The other stands .5m high. Both have a single, large bullaun set near to one end of the flat oval boulders. Each stone is around 2m long and 1.2m wide. The bullauns are around 40cm across.
