As many of you will know I have been looking for this bullaun stone for quite some time and at last I've done so. I couldn't have done it without the help of without the help of a megalithomania visitor who was shown the stone by somebody and then mailed me with the info. Now, at last, this stone can be recorded along with all the other sites on megalithomania!
The single bullaun lies in the centre of a large, flat-topped earthfast boulder that measures at least 1.5m across. I can't say how big it is exactly because I could not find any of the edges. This is due to the density of the undergrowth that surrounds and threatens to bury the slab, the upper surface of which is at ground level. The 15cm diameter bullaun is not hemi-spherical, but very uneven.
It's a tricky one to find, but it is really great to know it is still there. Finding it has made my month and we're not even half way through it!

_Follow the directions to Rathmichael church and round tower and park at the church. Walk back down the track to the gateway on the left. On the corner of this entrance furthest from the church is a large tree. The bullaun stone is in the hhedge directly opposite this tree, just 1.5m from the edge of the track. Good luck!
