Bullaun stone in Kilmovee

Situated towards the bottom of a gentle S-facing slope. An early ecclesiastical site which may have had an oval ecclesiastical enclosure (WA008-030002-) originally, but this is now truncated at S by an E-W field bank. A bullaun stone (dims. 0.95m x 0.65m) of conglomerate with a single basin (dims. 0.30-0.34m; D 0.8m) is in the W face of the E wall of the NNW-SSE lane which is W of the enclosure and c. 35m from the junction with the E-W public road to the S.

Dated to the early Christian period, likely 5th to 7th century AD, the Bullaun stone in Kilmovee was probably used for ritual or ecclesiastical purposes, such as the preparation of holy water. Such stones are often associated with early monastic sites and may have had a role in local Christian traditions or folklore.
