Bullaun

Bullaun stone

What is recorded here

Bullaun is a limestone slab beside a Galway graveyard where rain fills a narrow basin and drains through a small fissure. The stone sits close to a stream, shaping a place where water, death and memory still move together.
This bullaun stone lies to the NNW of the graveyard (GA006-12200-) and c. 3m to the W of a small stream. It is visible in the N half of a subrectangular limestone slab (L 1.5m; Wth 0.8m; T 0.2m). The basin (0.35m E-W; 0.3m N-S; D 0.18m) is subcircular in plan and narrows towards the base (diam. 0.15m). A small fissure runs off it at NW. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 8 August 2019
