What is recorded here

Thirty paces east of the bullaun stone, a hidden well and lonely pillar wait beside buried ancestors. The modest granite basin invites quiet prayer rather than grand display. Together they form a small sacred field where the living and dead still share the same air.

This subrectangular granite bullaun stone (L 0.84m; Wth 0.45m; H 0.23m) is set on a small grassed-over mound or cairn (c. 5m E-W; c. 4.5m N-S; H 1.3m). It bears a single basin (L 0.37m; Wth 0.28m; D 0.08m). A holy well (GA110-085002-) and pillar stone lie in the next field to the E, c. 30m to the ENE and c. 35m respectively, and a number of burials (GA110-085003-) are recorded in the second field to the E, c. 45m to the NE.

This bullaun stone, likely dating to the early Christian period, may have been used for ritual washing or as part of a holy well complex associated with local saints or pilgrimage practices. Such stones often held spiritual significance and were linked to healing or purification traditions in Irish folklore.
