What is recorded here

Bullaunmalore is a holy well on Inis Mór where a small limestone cavity still receives modern offerings beneath an oval drystone cairn. It sits barely half a kilometre from Cill Mhuirbhigh on bare pavement, small enough to overlook yet marked deliberately by stone. People may have gone there to ask for clarity, ease or remembrance, leaving something behind so the water would not forget them.

On a bare terrace of limestone pavement, 0.6km NW of the village of Cill Mhuirbhigh, Inis Mór. Known locally as Bullán Mhaolodhair (Robinson 1980), it consists of a small natural cavity in the limestone over which is an oval drystone cairn (2.3m by 1.4m, H 0.7m). Some modern offerings are visible.
