Sunday, 5th January 2003

As I was climbing out of the field with the standing stone in another stone caught my eye through a gate on the other side of the road, so I went to investigate. Yes! a bullaun stone. quite amazing. Like the nearby standing stone this is not marked either.

Just 10m or so into the field from the gate this small rough block of stone just sits there. Today the 25cm wide and quite deep bullaun was iced over. The bullaun actually takes up most of the top surface of the rock, but there is just enough room for another very shallow hollow to one side of it.

Out of all the small bullauns that I have ever seen, this has to be amongst my favourites.
