Bullaun stone in Morrissysland

There are two bullaun stones at a grave enclosure on the site of St. Stephen’s church (WX029-013017-). A bullaun stone (WX029-013018-) is built into the top of the grave-enclosure wall, and another granite stone (dims. 0.61m x 0.44m; H 0.25m) with a single basin ((diam. 33m; D 0.16m) is nearby.

Likely dating to the early Christian period, bullaun stones were often used for ritual purposes, such as anointing or as holy water basins, and may have been associated with local saints or pilgrimage traditions. Their placement near a grave enclosure suggests a possible link to funerary or spiritual practices.
