Bullaun stone (present location) in Cloghinch (glenkeen Par.),cloghinch (templederry Par.)

Located in Moanaha Glen, immediately S of Nenagh River. Formerly only the flat surface of the embedded bullaun stone was visible with a circular depression (0.3m x 0.33m x 0.15m D) close to one edge (Raftery 1967, 219). This field has been reclaimed and the boulder lifted to the adjacent riverbank to the N. The boulder (0.98m x 0.86m x 0.76m) subsequently fell into the river, c. 4m below the bank, landing right side up. A cross-inscribed stone (TN027-166002) was found adjacent to the bullaun stone.

Probably dating to the early Christian or later prehistoric period, the bullaun stone was likely used for ritual or symbolic purposes, possibly as a site for anointing or as a holy well marker. Such stones often held spiritual significance in both pagan and Christian traditions.
