What is recorded here

Bullaun stones are prayer-worn rocks where believers rubbed or knelt until the stone changed shape. In Tullycommon, Westropp wrote that such stones lay near a nameless caher, but no one has found them since. The field may still hold them beneath grass, brambles or forgotten ground. If so, the caher and stones are waiting for someone to walk past them more than once.
