What is recorded here
No visible bullaun channel or spout survives, though the broken stone may have marked a baptismal font inside the ruined church.
Located in the SW corner of a possible church (MA061-093001-).
An irregular-shaped boulder (c. 0.5m X 0.6m; T 0.34m) with a circular central depression (diam. 0.27m; D 0.16m) on the upper surface. The stone is broken into two pieces.
It lies partly obscured by the rubble and overgrowth that fills the interior of the ruined church.

Likely dating to the early Christian period, bullaun stones were often used for ritual purposes, such as the preparation of holy water or as baptismal fonts. They are also associated with local folklore, sometimes linked to saintly figures or healing traditions.
