What is recorded here

Bullaun stone in Málainn Mhóir is an irregular stone with a circular hollow, resting beside a large millstone and stream on the northern side of a public road in County Donegal. The hollow may have measured water, marked a boundary or belonged to a forgotten ritual, while the millstone and smithy suggest the place also fed and equipped nearby people. The stone still sits where traffic passes, carrying both domestic use and unclear ceremony into one small roadside area.

On the northern side of a public road located beside a large millstone and stream with smithy to the west of the bullaun stone. An irregular shaped stone (1.75m x 1.15m; H 0.56m) with a circular-shaped hollow (diam. 0.27m; D 0.23m) on its upper surface.

Likely dating to the early medieval period, the bullaun stone may have been used for ritual purposes, such as the preparation of holy water or as a site for pilgrimages. In folklore, such stones are often associated with saintly figures or healing traditions.
