What is recorded here

On a slight SW-facing slope. There is a bullaun stone (dims 0.4m x 0.3m; H 0.27m) with a single damaged basin (diam. 0.22m; D 0.07m) near the perimeter of the cashel (RO045-157003-) and children's burial ground (RO045-157002-) at SW. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
Likely dating to the early Christian period, the bullaun stone may have been used for ritual or ecclesiastical purposes, such as preparing holy water. Its location near a cashel and burial ground suggests a possible connection to local Christian or prehistoric spiritual practices.
