This group of four bullaun stones is the real attraction in this field. Three of the stones have single bullauns and the fourth has four - making seven, hence the name.

The three single bullaun stones are all earthfast boulders that do not stand too proud of the ground. The 'main' stone is extremely unsual, because tree of its bullauns are in the bottom of a rectangular depresion. The fourth bullaun is just outside this oddity.

The weather was very nasty today, so I will have to come back to take some better images and to locate the other two stones that I didn't find.

Andy commented that you really need a step ladder for this group. It really is difficult to photograph them all together, so I think I may well head back here at some point and do just that.
