This single bullaun is just yards from the other one here at Brittas, but it does not appear on the OS maps nor does it appear in the Archaeological Inventory for county Wicklow, so it appears that I have discovered a prviously unrecorded stone.
I was just walking away from the other stone, very happy that I'd found it, when the edge of a depression caught my eye peeping out from beneath the moss and grass. We quickly peeled it back to reveal a shallow, 25cm diameter bullaun. The cup is situated at one end of a long, slim, earth fast boulder, like the eye on a needle.

_This stone has now sadly grown over again. The photos shown here could well remain the only ones ever taken of it.
