Bullaun stone in Druming

Bullaun stone

What is recorded here

Druming holds two bullaun stones in open pasture, one beside a ringfort and the other thirty-eight metres west. The nearer stone wears a shallow circular basin near its east edge, small enough for a cupping hand yet deep enough to catch rain. People may have gathered there to drink, mark territory or perform rituals beside the fort, while moss and sod now soften its edges. The distance between the stones suggests a deliberate layout rather than a random scatter of rock.
In pasture, c. 4m to the ESE of a ringfort (LF019-068001-). An earthfast, partially sod- and moss-covered rock has a circular basin (diam. 0.25m; D 0.16m) near its E edge. A second bullaun (LF019-068002-) lies c. 38m to the W. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 6 June 2013
