Monument described by Lynch (1913, 21) as: ‘At the south-east extremity [of a drained swamp between Greallach and Ardnaboula, Knockderk and Ballydaheen], we found the Rock well, or Bullaun; it is 22 inches (56cm) deep by 14 inches (36cm) in diameter, and perfect in form as the exterior of an egg shell, and exactly similar to the one [ LI032-038----] near Bourchier’s Castle [LI032-022034-]’.
