What is recorded here

A possible bullaun stone apparently formed part of one of the dividing walls at a holy well site (WI034-018----). There was no visible trace of the stone when the holy well was inspected in 1990 (SMR file; Grogan and Kilfeather 1997, 167, No. 1058). Its current location is unknown.

A bullaun stone, likely dating to the early Christian period, often used for ritual purposes such as anointing or as a font at holy well sites; associated with local Christian or prehistoric pilgrimage traditions.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
