Sunday, 1st April 2007

There are four separate stones in this group. The main one is a flat slab with two large bullauns - one 30cm in diameter, the other 35cm. Both are 15 cm deep. Just a couple of metres from this slab there are two smaller earthfast boulders each with a single bullaun about 30cm diameter. One of these is quite shallow and looks incomplete.

A little further up the hillside is the fourth stone, which has a very shallow, but wide basin that seems to be unfinished, too.

Out of all the Glendalough bullauns these have the finest view across the valley, being uninterupted to the round tower and up along the valley to Lugduff.
