What is recorded here

A smooth, sub-rectangular stone (0.25m x 0.3m) with a small bowl shaped bullaun (diam. 0.13m; D 0.05m) at its centre which has been set into a gap in the southern wall of Durrus Church CO131-007002), now in ruins. This bullaun is still venerated and it is full of coins deposited in its bowl. There are also some religious statues, a cross and a rosary. Immediately next to it is a fragment of cranium also used for offerings. Compiled by: Tony Miller Date of upload: 6 February 2015
