Hallo Mr H,

Is this:

one of the things Borlase talks of as 'Rock Basons'?

I'm intrigued.

I have seen Borlase's rock basins compared to bullauns in some reports, so I don't think these natural-looking things could be them. I think Borlase's basins are singular things, but ain't 100% sure.

It's not easy to ignore the similarities is it? Kinda like natural (or are they?) precursors to the Bullauns.

Did you spot the reference to 'Bully' stones in Mr Hamhead's pic here:
http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/post/56793 ? Nowt definite, but a suspicious similarity in name and form, if not in function.
