What is recorded here

Located in Moanaha Glen, immediately S of Nenagh River. Formerly only the flat surface of the embedded bullaun stone was visible with a circular depression (0.3m x 0.33m x 0.15m D) close to one edge (Raftery 1967, 219). This field has been reclaimed and the boulder lifted to the adjacent riverbank to the N. The boulder (0.98m x 0.86m x 0.76m) subsequently fell into the river, c. 4m below the bank, landing right side up. A cross-inscribed stone (TN027-166002) was found adjacent to the bullaun stone. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 September 2008
