What a great specimen. This is one that really does scream - This is a megalithic bullaun stone!

The rough, nobbly boulder has three very large bullauns in its upper surface; each one 30cm in diameter. Two are located towards one edge and the third actually breaks the opposite side - quite a common thing in multiple bullauns ... did this have purpose and meaning?

The stone is not an earthfast boulder and measures around 1.2m long by 50cm wide and is 50cm tall.
