Visit Notes

Saturday, 2nd March 2002

There are actually two bullaun stones at this church, one either side of the path. The one is not really worth significant wordage and has one shallow cup and a broken one. The other is quite exceptional! it has two small (8cm) cups and one massive (25cm) cup.

This larger cup truly is a marvel and well worth a visit.
