What is recorded here

Bullaun stone in Derryrush is a water-filled rock basin now buried under tar on the Lehid-Kilmakilloge road. Local people called it a holy well, suggesting it gave drink, cleansing or prayer long before traffic passed it. The road closed the visible bowl, but it did not erase the shape or the memory.

In rough gorse-covered pasture, on a SW-facing slope, under the tarred surface at the N side of the Lehid-Kilmakilloge road. According to local information, a bowl-shaped hollow, which was always filled with water, was visible in the natural rock before the road was tarred. This hollow was known locally as a holy well. There is a mass-rock (KE108-059001-) c. 10m to the SE on the opposite side of the road. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 30 May 2011
