I love bullaun stones like this: rough, craggy and oozing prehistoricness. I parked at the church just up the road and asked someone who was just leaving if they knew where the stone was - "It's in the bog in that field, I think." In a bog? Great!
Luckily it just turned out to be a very soggy field and I had my wellies with me, so I was ok.
The stone is difficult to spot, as it only stands 15cm proud of the ground. It is over 1m long and just 40cm wide with two 25-30cm bullauns near to one end. The grass around it appears to be trying to consume it, so I cleared it off a bit to give it a chance. The roughness and glorious cragginess of this stone is so primeval, almost, that it has entered into my list of favourite bullaun stones.
