Bullaun stone (present location) in St. Patricksrock

Currently housed in Cashel Folk Museum. This bullaun stone was found in Kilshane townland where there is a medieval church (TS067-036----) and graveyard (TS067-036001-). The precise original location is unknown. The bullaun consists of a roughly round-shaped sandstone and quartz conglomerate boulder (dims 0.72m x0.72m; D 0.45m) with a deep circular depression (diam. 0.38m; D 0.29m) to one side of the boulder. The side of the depression nearest the edge has broken away, reducing the depth of the depression to 0.04m. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 25 October 2013

This bullaun stone likely dates to the early Christian period, associated with monastic or ecclesiastical sites. Traditionally used for ritual purposes, such as the preparation of holy water or as a baptismal font, it reflects the spiritual practices of medieval Christian communities.
