Bullaun stone in Tinnacross

Described as the site of Kildenis church on the 1839 and 1940 eds. of the OS 6-inch map, and located on the NW-facing slope of a slight NE-SW spur of Ballydonigan Hill, the summit of which is c. 1.5 km to the ENE. There is no visible evidence of a church (WX020-005001-) at ground level but there is a bullaun stone (dims 0.83m x 0.45m; H 0.5m) within a single basin (dims 0.32m x 0.26m; D 0.2m) at the centre of the ecclesiastical enclosure (WX020-005002-).

Likely dating to the early Christian period, the Bullaun stone in Tinnacross may have been used for ritual purposes, such as the anointing of the sick or as a holy water font associated with the nearby Kildenis church. Such stones often held spiritual significance and were linked to local Christian traditions or prehistoric sacred practices.
