What is recorded here

In rough grazing land with outcropping rock. A roughly bowl-shaped water-filled hollow (diam. 0.14m; D 0.25m) carved out of the almost level surface of the outcropping rock. This bullaun stone is regarded locally as a holy well and pilgrims to it have inscribed at least a dozen crosses on the rock surface surrounding it. The hollow contains coins and small stones. A smaller depression in the rock surface, immediately to the W of the well, appears to be natural. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
