What is recorded here
Bullaun and the stone head still mark Pubble in County Fermanagh, carrying a name that sounds like a warning rather than a description. The place belongs to the medieval and earlier Christian worlds, when people set stones at edges of fields, roads or memory and left them standing against rain and forgetting. Perhaps a traveller knocked his head against the rock, perhaps a child laughed at its shape, or perhaps someone simply needed a point in the landscape that could be found again in darkness.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STONE HEAD & BULLAUN. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.; MEDIEVAL. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
