What is recorded here

Kilnanare is a small townland in County Kerry, Ireland, where a holy well once held a bullaun stone. Local information says the stone is no longer visible because it sank into soft ground. The water may still move around the hidden stone, keeping the shape of hands that rubbed it for years.

According to local information, a bullaun stone formerly visible at the site of the holy well (KE047-045----) is believed to have sunk into soft ground. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork. Date of upload: 31 January 2011

A bullaun stone, likely dating to the early Christian period, often associated with holy wells and used for ritual purposes such as the anointing of the sick. Local tradition may link it to saintly figures or healing practices.
