What is recorded here

On a SW-facing slope overlooking the Poulaphuca Reservoir. Currently used as grazing land. One of two bullaun stones (WI005-120001-, WI005-120002-) within a short distance of one another. This bullaun appears to have been uprooted some twenty years ago or more but was only noticed recently. It had been pushed to the edge of the field, probably from a position E of its current position. It consists of a large granite boulder (1m x 1.75m), originally probably earthfast and only partially exposed. At one end there is a large oval basin (diam. c. 0.49m; D 0.19m).

Likely dating to the early Christian period, bullaun stones were traditionally used for grinding holy items or as ritual sites associated with Christian saints. Local folklore sometimes links them to both pagan and Christian traditions, reflecting their possible dual religious significance.
