This is a most unusual bullaun stone. The single bullaun is about 30cm across and quite shallow. Nothing too strange there, but the stone it is in is rectangular. To add to the oddness the bullaun is at one end of the stone, so it's hard to fathom out why it was cut this way. It seems obvious that it was cut from a larger stone, but why so weirdly?
The stone can be found in the cemetery at the base of one of the church walls close to some rubble that has fallen from it. Hopefully, it won't become hidden underneath any more that might fall. I don't think it will as the graveyard seems to be well-tended.
