Opposite the gateway into the field with the main bullaun stone ( Kilmalkedar (County Kerry)) in it there is a large stone built into the wall. Close inspection of this reveals a very shallow, but large bullaun.

The stone is a little over 1m tall and 1.5m across. The basin is around 50cm x 40cm and 10cm deep. This one's easy to miss, but look out for it after you visit the really good one. Be careful though. It's on a nasty bend in the road.
