Visit Notes

Sunday, 9th February 2003

I'd looked for this stone on a previous visit to the area and not found it. This is hardly surprising when you see the size of the stone. It is lying in the grass just inside the gate to the church to the right of the path and measures just 50cm in any direction. There is a single bullaun (20cm diam x 10cm deep).

From Tullow take the N81 for about 5.5km until you reach a cross roads and turn left. Turn left at the next cross roads and dirve to the church. The bullaun is 5m or so inside the gate to the right of the path leading to the church.
