What is recorded here
Bullaun stone is a granite basin set into the church wall at Ceathrú An Teampaill, reused as a stoup after moving from the old church site across the road. Its oval hollow is deep enough to hold water, and that much is still visible beside the plaque. The rest has been taken over by the building, leaving only the shape of an older act of washing, marking or remembering.
This possible bullaun of conglomerate granite is set into the wall of the R.C. Church where it has been converted for use as a stoup. In consequence, it is not possible to record its dimensions. It measures at least 0.6m long by 0.55m wide and is 0.29m high. It contains an oval depression or basin (0.36m by 0.25m and c. 0.1m deep). A plaque on the wall beside it records that it and the architectural fragment (GA119-049002-) was brought from the old church site (GA119-049----) across the road to the north.
