What is recorded here

That is the largest chamber pot ever made. A priest carried the heavy boulder to Rathduff church, leaving behind the smaller stone and claiming the bigger one for his own congregation. Two shallow hollows still mark its flat top, waiting for hands that never came back to use them.

In the grounds of Rathduff church. According to local information, this bullaun stone was brought here by a priest from its original location (MA039-043001-) at an enclosure (MA039-043002-). It consists of an irregular-shaped boulder (L 1.5m; Wth 1m; H 0.85m) on the flat upper surface of which there are two close-set two close-set, shallow hollows: One hollow is circular (diam. 0.33m) in plan, and the other oval (0.43m; 0.36m); each c. 0.08-0.1m in depth.
