There are two bullaun stones at a grave enclosure on the site of St. Stephen’s church (WX029-013017-). A granite stone (dims. 0.7m x 0.6m; H 0.3m) with a single basin (diam. 0.33-0.35m; D 0.2m) is built into the top of the grave-enclosure wall, and another granite bullaun stone (WX029-013019-) is nearby.

Likely dating to the early Christian or late prehistoric period, the bullaun stone may have been used for ritual purification or as part of a sacred site associated with later ecclesiastical activity. Such stones are often linked to holy wells or saintly traditions, though specific folklore connected to Font, Morrissysland is not recorded.
