This is a National Monument in state ownership: No. 665. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 2 May, 2012
Likely dating to the early medieval period, the bullaun stone may have had a ritual or Christian significance, possibly used for baptisms or as a holy water font associated with the Romanesque church. Such stones are often linked to local folklore and veneration of holy sites.
