What is recorded here

The south bowl holds rainwater while the north bowl stays dry, a small inconsistency on a moss-covered boulder at the east end of a graveyard. That difference may have mattered to whoever knelt beside it, perhaps marking one bowl for drinking and the other for washing or offering. The stone sits in steep pastureland overlooking woodland, large enough to touch but low enough to disappear into grass and shadow.

In pastureland sloping steeply to the S and overlooking woodland. Aspect is limited to the N. This bullaun lies the E end of a graveyard (GA124-005----). It is set in the ground and comprises an irregularly shaped moss-covered boulder (1.2m N-S; 0.9m E-W; H 0.4m). Two bowls are visible: the N one (diam. 0.4m; D 0.12m) is circular in plan, while the S one (0.45m E-W; 0.35m N-S; D 0.18m), which is filled with water, is oval.

Likely dating to the early Christian period, bullaun stones were traditionally used for hollowing out to hold holy water or for ritual purposes. They are often associated with monastic sites and may have had both Christian and pre-Christian symbolic significance.
