What is recorded here
This is a granite stone (dims. 1.36m x 0.57-1.24m; H 0.38m) with one rounded basin (diam. 0.5m; D 0.34m), which is locally thought to cure warts. It was located beside an E-W field bank on a gentle E-facing slope, but it was moved a short distance to its present location (WX045-015002-) on the E side of the enlarged field c. 1982.

Likely dating to the early medieval period, the bullaun stone was traditionally used for ritual or medicinal purposes, with the basin possibly used for holy water or as a cure for ailments like warts. Such stones often held spiritual significance and were associated with Christian or pre-Christian healing practices.
