What is recorded here

Opie (1997, 97) recorded a large granite bullaun stone in a field containing the unexcavated half of a burial ground (SL020-266001-). Not precisely located.

Likely dating to the early Christian period, bullaun stones were often used for ritual purposes, such as the anointing of the sick with holy water. Local folklore may associate the stone with healing or saintly activity, though specific traditions for this site are not recorded.
