What is recorded here

Knockseerach graveyard stands beside Derryvorrigan, where St. Kieran is said to have knelt until his knees marked the rock. Three or four hundred yards north, his holy well still gives water, and people once walked there on the 5th of March. The stone does not need a name to be holy; it has been holding that shape since prayer first pressed into it.

A bullaun stone associated with St. Kieran, likely dating to the early Christian period, possibly repurposed from a prehistoric ritual or ceremonial site. Such stones were often used for ritual purification or as holy wells in medieval Christian tradition.
