Bullaun stone

What is recorded here

Situated in a shallow NE-SW valley with a stream c. 30m to the NW. This is the site of the parish church of Kilrush (WX010-007001-) within circular graveyard (WX010-007002-) defined by a stone-faced earthen bank. There was bullaun stone (dims c. 1.2m x 0.8m) with two basins set in the ground outside the graveyard at W, but it could not be found in March 2012.

Likely dating to the early Christian period, the bullaun stone may have been used for ritual purification or as a holy water font associated with the nearby church site. Such stones often held spiritual significance and were linked to local saints or Christian traditions.
