What is recorded here

Two mismatched stones sit atop the gate pier leading to Tober Moling, forming a shallow depression that never quite aligns. One angular piece may be a broken church stoup, the other a genuine bullaun stone, joined later by human hands rather than divine origin. The seam between them refuses explanation, preserving the moment someone chose assembly over authenticity.

Two parts of a possible broken bullaun stone are visible on top of the gate pier of the gateway leading to Tober Moling (KE032-009----). The two pieces of stone when placed together form a shallow depression but they do not quite match up and may belong to two different features. One of the broken stones has a straight face externally which suggest that this was a medieval church stoup while the other rounded natural looking stone may have been a broken bullaun stone which was then matched to the broken stoup and placed on top of the stone pier of the gateway leading down to the holy well.

Likely dating to the early medieval period, bullaun stones were traditionally used for the preparation of holy water or as ritual sites associated with Christian saints. They are often linked to local folklore and may have had both religious and communal significance.
