What is recorded here

In the garden of a modern house. A granite boulder (1.65m NE−SW; 1.15m NW−SE; H 0.36m), roughly lozenge-shaped in plan, with a circular, bowl-shaped hollow (0.32m E−W; 35m N−S; D 0.2m) in the upper surface towards the NE end. The stone has a slightly domed upper surface and gently rounded sides and corners. The surface is moderately moss-covered. According to local information, the bullaun stone was discovered in the early 2000’s c. 35m to NE in the pasture field immediately to E of the house, at approximately ITM 552143 819451. It was found in a field ditch bordering the field fence on the N side of the field, which is bordered by a road. The bullaun stone may have been associated with a rath (SL032-002001-) which is located c. 15m to S.
