This is a very, very primitave bullaun stone. The two large bullauns are very roughly carved and may just be enlarged natural features. One is set near ground level, the second one slightly higher up the stone. There is a little channel (definitely manmade) between the two.
Knowing it was in a churchyard I was expecting a much more refined bullaun stone, but this stone definitely predates the church, which is very early, by a considerable amount of time.

Myshal is on the R724 15km east of Bagenalstown. When in the town look for the old church or ask for directions to the holy well. The stone is in the graveyard right in front of the old church.
