What is recorded here
Situated beside the mass-rock (WA024-122001-) on the NE bank of the NW-SE River Tay where it runs through a ravine, and just off the Tramore to Dungarvan road (R675) where it crosses the river. A stone (dims. 0.36m x 0.27m; H 7m) has a shallow basin (diam. 0.25-0.26m; D 2cm) on its upper surface that may be a fragment of a bullaun stone with the bottom of the basin.

Likely dating to the early Christian period, the bullaun stone may have been used for ritual purposes, such as the anointing of the sick with holy water. Such stones are often associated with local saints and folklore, though specific traditions for this site are not recorded.
