A truly impressive bullaun stone, nestled in against a field boundary and a stone's throw away from the shore of Lough Macnean Upper. Park at the modern graveyard 100 metres east from the signpost to Killinagh church and walk back. The stone is past the church and old graveyard down near the shoreline.
There were some 'offerings' placed under the turnstones in the bullauns. We cleaned some of the detritus that is moulding away on and around the stone, but brambles have taken hold in the space between the upper surface and the lower.
