What is recorded here

A small portable bullaun stone (diam. 0.24m; D 0.05m) situated in the N sector of a ringfort (TN037-032001) in an area that appears to have been quarried. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 September 2008

Likely dating to the early Christian period, the bullaun stone may have been used for ritual or ecclesiastical purposes, such as anointing or symbolic healing. Its placement within a ringfort suggests a possible integration of prehistoric and Christian traditions in the area.
