This was a tricky one to find. Firstly, the grid references I had were over 100m out. Secondly, I was looking for three bullaun stones and only one is visible now. This is set into the field bank at a sharp bend. The bank to the south of the stone arcs around in a semi-circle. This is the remains of a round church enclosure. Nothing remains of this ancient eclesiastical site above ground now except the bank and the bullaun stone set into it.
The bullaun stone is large, about 1.8m long x 1.5m wide and pear shaped. The two basins are towards the thinner end. The more central one is hemi-spherical and 25cm in diameter and 15cm deep. The other is smaller and quite shallow.
