Located c. 70m N of Clara church (KK020-017001-) and graveyard (KK020-017002-). Incorporated into the lower courses of a field boundary with external stone facing, on the E side of road. An irregularly shaped limestone block (max. dims. 0.4m x 0.35m; max. H 0.25m) with shallow, circular basin (diam. 0.16m). Another bullaun (KK020-017007-) from the graveyard is currently located in the grounds of the farmhouse to the SW. In 1893 it was noted that, 'In the ditch of the roadway may been seen the heel-stones of the gateway of the former entrance to the church precincts, one of them still in situ' (Anon. 1893, 233). This may refer to a spudstone and could be the stone with the depression in the field boundary which was more recently interpreted as a bullaun.
