What is recorded here
Half a kilometre from the Sruhnasilloge river, a forgotten graveyard swallows the church of St Kieran whole. Scrub and trees strangle the stones, hiding a bullaun marked by two circular depressions. Those hollows may have measured milk, beer or tears for the dead, but the forest has reclaimed the answer. What remains is a dark chamber where human hands once shaped stone before forgetting the shape entirely.
Located c. 50m NW of the Sruhnasilloge river which flows southwestward. A bullaun with two circular depressions is located within the graveyard (KK029-027002-) associated with the medieval church of St Kieran (KK029-027001-). The graveyard is heavily overgrown with scrub and trees.
