What is recorded here

Located on the E side of an enclosure (MA030-0051005-), within a burial ground (MA030-051004-) named League Cemetery. This possible bullaun stone consists of a roughly circular stone slab (diam. c. 0.98m; T c. 0.3m), which is set upright on its narrow edge. It leans against the enclosing scarp of the enclosure, and is partly embedded in the ground so that its exact dimensions are uncertain. A circular depression (diam 0.17m; D 0.008m), with vertical sides and a flat base, is located off-centre on the broad exposed face of the stone. The function of this stone is unclear; it superficially resembles a bullaun stone, but the form of the circular depression is somewhat unusual. According to local tradition, the stone has curative powers, especially efficacious for headaches or other problems of the head. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 2 February 2021
