What is recorded here
No indicated is a broken bullaun stone set into the north wall of a medieval church in County Cork. Its small hollow may have collected rainwater for drinking or prayer, while the church later reused the fragment as building material. The stone crosses time, carrying an older ritual into a newer faith and inviting people to imagine the hands that first touched its worn surface.
On top of the N wall of a medieval church (CO010-003003-). This fragment of stone (0.31m x 0.26m) with portion of a hollow (0.19m; D 0.1m) on the surface was identified as a bullaun stone.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
