This bullaun postively screams 'megalithicness' at you as you approach. It is sited at a junction in the footpath it is flanked by a huge stone on either side.
The shape of the bullaun is quite unusual too, being almost conical. The single bullaun is about 15cm across and a little deeper. A wonderful arrangement of stones.

I can't resist stopping at this gloriously weird stone whenever I walk past. The odd arrangement of stones around it make it look quite sculptural. What I'd love to know is how original are these stones. They could so easily by a modern/Victorian arrangement.

From the round tower walk south past the cathedral and down past St. Kevin's Chapel. Cross the river and continue for 15m to this bullaun.
This bullaun stone has a sweet tale to it. The wife of one of the labourers at Glendalough died during child birth. St. Kevin prayed at the stone and from then onwards a doe came and deposited milk in the bullaun cup for the child.
This tale rings of a much older pagan belief in my opinion.
