Visit Notes

Monday, 31st December 2001

This ia terrible to find but well worth the hike 600m from the nearest road either across bog land or through thick woods.

It has a double bullaun the smaller one being 20cm across and the larger one maybe 25cm. The rock is an outcrop in the field and I suspect has a large part below ground. It was not possible to see how deep the cups are because the water in them was frozen solid.

A great find for the last day and trip of 2001.
