What is recorded here
Bullaun in Brackney holds a graveyard, a cross-carved stone and a holy well, though no date or owner is certain. The well may have given drink, cleaned wounds or marked a boundary between the living and the dead. The cross may have warned, promised or simply claimed the place for Christian memory. People may have come there when sickness, birth or grief made them seek a older answer than reason.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as GRAVEYARD; CROSS-CARVED STONE; BULLAUN. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
