In wet pasture, liable to floods, 85m N of a townland boundary with Ballydaheen and 90m W of a townland boundary with Kilballyowen. Ring-barrows (LI032-217/216----) lie 250m to E and 300m to W respectively. Annotated ‘Bullaun’ on the current edition OSi 6-inch map. Monument described by Lynch (1913, 21) as: ‘At the south-east extremity [of a drained swamp between Greallach and Ardnaboula, Knockderk and Ballydaheen], we found the Rock well, or Bullaun; it is 22 inches (56cm) deep by 14 inches (36cm) in diameter, and perfect in form as the exterior of an egg shell, and exactly similar to the one [ LI032-038----] near Bourchier’s Castle [LI032-022034-]’. Monument is not visible on OSi orthoimages taken 2005-2012, on Digital Globe orthoimages taken 2011-2013 or on Google Earth orthoimage taken 28/06/2018, although a small, brown worn patch of grass near this spot, may indicate the precise location.
