This lovely bullaun stone is situated at the base of an east facing slope just 300m from the southern end of the 'river' that links Derrycassan Lough with Coologe Lough.
The retcangular flat topped stone has a single 25cm diameter bullaun in it. There are also four very shallow cupmarks set in an arc around the eatern edge of the bullaun. This is the first time I have seen rock art definitely associated with a bullaun stone that I have come across in Ireland. There are several examples in Britain.
Of course, it is impossible to know if the rock art and the bullaun are contemporary. Likewise we cannot say which were carved first.
