What is recorded here

In the garden of Ballydoogan House (GA106-020----). This roughly circular granite bullaun stone (diam. 0.6m; H 0.3m) with a central bowl (diam. 0.3m; D 0.2m) may have come from the ecclesiastical site in Kilmeen townland (see GA106-103001-, GA106-103003- and GA106-013004-) (information from Mrs. C. Besnyoe). Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 10 July 2017 The following image has been uploaded: GA106-023----_01.jpg
Likely dating to the early medieval period, this bullaun stone may have been used for ritual or ecclesiastical purposes, such as holding holy water or as a font. Its association with the nearby ecclesiastical site in Kilmeen suggests a possible Christian or pre-Christian ceremonial function.
