I was told about this bullaun stone by Gerard Madden, local historian and ferry man to Holy Island (County Clare). This one is not marked on the OS maps, so without his help I would never have found it.

This stone, like the others in the region, has a large, single bullaun. It is sat upon a low pedastal in a child's graveyard next to a very picturesque river and stone bridge. There is also a very rustic stone cross in the graveyard.
