Visit Notes

Sunday, 1st April 2007

In an attempt to see all of Glendalough's bullaun stones in one day (with so many this isn't easy) I showed this one to Andy. It's mounted into the inner wall of the cathedral on the northwest corner.

It is possible that this was reused as a water stoop in the cathedral, because the lip of the bullaun is very rounded and looks rubbed. The basin is about 30cm in diameter and centrally placed in the stone.
