What is recorded here

The bullaun stone in Kilcummin is in County Sligo, Ireland. A triangular stone, 0.9m x 0.8m, stands in pasture 60m NE of a friary site, its upper surface bearing a hollow 0.49m across and 0.18m deep. It may be the Tober Cuimín recorded in 1836, and a possible church with graveyard lies 130m to the southwest.

In pasture, c. 60m NE of the site of a friary (SL031-006001-). A triangular stone (0.9m x 0.8m), set into the ground, with a hollow (diam. 0.49m; D 0.18m) in its upper surface. Indicated on the 1914 OS 6-inch map as a well, it may be the 'Tober Cuimín' (see SL031-005005-) recorded in 1836 (OSNB vol. 1, 30). A possible church and graveyard (SL031-005001-; SL031-005002-) are c. 130m to SW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).

Likely dating to the early medieval period, this stone may be associated with the nearby friary site. The hollow in its upper surface could have had ritual or practical use, possibly linked to water collection or symbolic purposes.
