These stones are tucked away behind the old sawmill and annoyingly in a big thicket of gorse. As we approached I didn't think we'd find anything, but we soon spotted the main stone. This was doing its best to avoid detection though, being full of gorse needles. The picture of the stone I had shows it standing up on edge so the the bullaun is in a vertical surface. The stone now lies flat, which is a shame as there is a second basin in the other side. The two bullauns have actually broken though into each other.
Next to the river and underneath all the gorse there is a small fragment of another bullaun stone. Several of the rocks around this have drilll holes in them, indicating that there was some blasting done here at some point. Obviously one of the rocks blown up had a bullaun in it. All that remains now is a thin slither with about a quarter of a bullaun in it. From the curvature of the fragment this would have been a big bullaun.
