Bullaun Stone (KE036-003005-): A large irregularly-shaped boulder, unworked except for the large circular depression in the centre of its upper surface. The stone measures a maximum of 1.02m x 0.64m x 0.33m thick and the bullaun is c. 0.33m in diameter and 0.11m deep. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne.

Bullaun stone in Killiney is likely from the early Christian period, associated with the nearby church site Cill Éinne. Such stones were often used for ritual purposes, including the preparation of holy water, and may have had both Christian and prehistoric symbolic significance.
