What is recorded here

Bullán is a rectangular stone with a circular hollow, set in pasture beside a holy well in County Cork. Local tradition holds that the hollow cures warts, turning a quiet field into a place of small bodily hope. People may have knelt there in rain or sunlight, pressing flawed skin against cool stone and leaving behind nothing but changed belief.

In pasture, c. 65m to ESE of holy well (CO071-009----). Rectangular stone (0.69m x 0.73m) with circular hollow (diam. 0.26m) on top. Believed locally to cure warts. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
