I'm not 100% sure about this triple bullaun stone. At least one of the bullauns is very elongated and that makes me think that at least this one was created in a river bed or perhaps at the base of a glacier. The other two are hemispherical and could be proper bullauns. Perhaps the stone was chosen because of the natural basin.
The 3.5m long stone is in a boggy field that is full of rough, jagged rocks and exposed bedrock. This makes it feel like an interloper, probably a glacial erratic. The three bullauns are grouped at one end of the stone around a natural fissure in the rock. One thing that speaks in favour of its authenticity is that it is so close to Derrylossary church, which has three bullaun stones around it.
