| Tinnacarrig - Bullaun Stone |
This slab of rock is prone to being covered by the rampaging brambles that now own the own churchyard that it lies in. It measures about 80cm x 40cm. Both surfaces are carved and it used to stand up at one time - presumably used as a grave marker.
The underside has a few worn cup-marks and some straight lines, the latter possibly being plough marks create while it was still buried in a nearby field. The upper side is much more ornate with many worn cup-and-ring motifs. When lit from the side the two central ones still stand out well. One of these has two rings and a gutter.
