Sunday, 6th July 2008

This single bullaun sits in the corner of the enclosure around the well. It seems to have been forgotten amongst the modern stone setting at the other end of the area.

The boulder is 1m across and of uneven shape. It appears to have been cut from a larger boulder and someone has tried to give the edge a bit of a shape.

The bullaun itself is quite large - at least 40cm in diameter - and has a channel leading to one edge.
