Situated within the complex of ecclesiastical remains at Kill: it is associated with the graveyard (MA085-013002-). Westropp (1911a, 25) mentions ‘an early-looking bullaun, or basin- stone, in the graveyard’, placing it ‘outside the chancel to the south’ (1911a, 37). He describes it briefly as ‘a small shallow basin from which three cuts radiate irregularly’. A drawing of this ‘basin-stone’ is included in Westropp’s pl. V (1911a), from which the ‘cuts’ appear to be narrow grooves radiating from a small circular depression. There is now no trace of a stone resembling this description at the place indicated, nor was any noted during the surveys of the monuments at Kill.
The above description is derived from: New Survey of Clare Island. Volume 5: Archaeology. Edited by Paul Gosling, Conleth Manning and John Waddell. (Royal Irish Academy, Dublin. 2007). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated.
