What is recorded here
Unknown Townland holds no unique feature in the provided facts. The only known destination is the National Museum, where a Ballydawley church stone from County Sligo now rests. Whether that is the exact stone you seek or a different one entirely remains unclear.
A bullaun stone from Ballydawley church, Co. Sligo (SL020-171011-) is now housed in the National Museum (Pers. comm. Martin Timoney 19/07/1989).
Dated to the early medieval period, bullaun stones were often used for ritual purposes, such as the anointing of holy water or as Christian holy wells. They may have had earlier prehistoric significance, possibly linked to pagan rites or symbolic healing practices.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
