What is recorded here
Bullaun stones in Lisduff, County Clare: two fine stones at the house west of two low earthen rings, the northern ring called Knockaclocaun. Westropp wrote them down in 1908-09, but in 2018 no trace remained at the abandoned house. The stones may have been moved, broken or buried; perhaps they are still under the yard, waiting for someone to stop looking like a surveyor and start listening like a neighbour.
Westropp (1908-09, 389) notes 'two fine "bullauns"' at the house W of two low earthen rings in Lisduff, the northern of which is called 'Knockaclocaun' (CL035-070----). On inspection in 2018 no evidence of these bullauns was found at an abandoned vernacular house matching this location. While the location may be that described by Westropp the bullaun stones remain unlocated.
