This is the only parked bullaun stone in the country. What do I mean by that? Exactly what it says ... this monstrously large rock is parked at the top of Dingle high street as if it was a car.

The boulder is over 3m long and 1.5m wide. There are four good-sized bullauns at one end, three of which are interlinked by shallow channels. Close to these are two very small depressions. At the other end there are several natural-looking rough cups.

I'm still amazed at this monument's location. I had expected it to be in a little park or within a wall, but no - it's simply parked at the side of the road.
