It seemed like my day was about to end miserably, because it was raining too much for me to visit the portal tomb here on Inch Island. I decided to head for home after an interesting day and stopped by a driveway to a new house and turned the car around. As I did so I had to double-take. Did I really just see a bullaun stone built into that new wall? Yes I did!
Half way up the wall on the right-hand side of the gateway here is a bullaun stone, mounted vertically so that its single bullaun faces out. I really wasn't expecting to see this and when I go back to see the tomb I will be sure to stop in and ask about where it came from.
