What is recorded here
Situated in the graveyard of St. Mary's RC church there is a small bullaun stone (dims. 0.5m x 0.5m x 0.28m H) with deep circular depression (diam. 0.21m; D 0.14m) lying beside the base of a possible high cross (TN006-003010-) which originally came from the medieval church and graveyard in the village of Terryglass.

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 part of Christian or pre-Christian ceremonial practices. Its association with a possible high cross suggests a religious or ecclesiastical function within the local landscape.
