What is recorded here

On a S-facing slope c. 25m from W bank of a stream flowing roughly N-S, in pasture. According to Power (1908, 9-10) the field is known as the 'Field of the Early Church Site' and was sacred to St. Bearachan. The sandstone bullaun (Wth 1.12m; H 0.6m; T 0.33m) is incorporated in the W face of a N-S field boundary. It has two circular depressions on its exposed surface, one 0.3m diam. X 0.09m D, the other 0.27m diam. X 0.06m D. It is located 0.62m E of a mass rock (TS078-061005-) and has a stone cross (TS078-061002-) resting on it.

Probably dates to the early Christian period, associated with St. Bearachan and possibly used for ritual or ecclesiastical purposes. The site may have earlier prehistoric significance, given the sacred nature of the field and the use of bullaun stones in both pagan and Christian traditions.
