Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 355-6) relates a story that the bullaun, 'was carried from the churchyard to its present position, about a century ago, by a strong man named Wawtear O'Keeffe, who, after perforning the feat, gave expression to the wish that, if another, as strong as he, every again appeared on the scene, he should carry the font back to its old place in the graveyard'.
