It took me a while to locate this bullaun stone in the cemetery. It is a very large limestone outcrop that is not quite flush with the ground and tall trees hide it from immediate view.

There is a single oval bullaun near to one edge that is about 50cm x 30cm and quite deep. This is almost certainly an enhanced solution pit.
