What is recorded here

Immediately inside the graveyard entrance to the Augustinian Abbey (TS075-048002-), to the E, resting on a purpose built stone plinth, there is a split multiple bullaun stone. This stone, which is a sandstone conglomerate with white quartz (H 0.41m; dims. 0.86m x 0.52m), contains four circular depressions (ranging from Wth 0.1m x D 0.1m to Wth 0.26m x D 0.21m).

This bullaun stone, likely dating to the early medieval period (5th to 12th century), may have had ritual or Christian significance, possibly used for anointing or as a holy water font. Such stones are often associated with monastic sites like Caherabbey, reflecting a blend of prehistoric and early Christian traditions.
