This bullaun stone is a large block of limestone with two massive bullauns/basins and a third smaller one. At 30cm in diameter the smaller one would be described as large if it was alone, but the others are each over 40cm across!
To the south of this stone there is another large outcrop of limestone, which reminds you that a great deal of Ireland sits on limestone and The Burren in Clare doesn't have a monopoly on it.
The stone is in the middle of flat, open landscaped pasture in front of a large country house, which is a most unusual place to visit such a monument: you keep expecting the lord of the manor to ride up at any moment on a thoroughbred horse and greet you. I knew this wasn't going to happen, though, as I'd met him a few minutes before and got directions from him.
