Thanks Ken, I'm going to have a look at some bullauns around the Tipp area anyway and see how it goes. I think depending on the terrian I will limit my search to maybe a field or two around the bullaun itself.If I suspect something is there but can't be sure from looking or touching, I just flash the surface from the side and review it on the camera. I'll usually do this for any suspicious looking surfaces around an existing panel since it doesn't cost anything with digital!
It can be frustrating at times because you can often find what looks like an excellent candidate but which turns out to have nothing only for something to turn up on a more marginal surface nearby. There's no pattern that could let you judge whether a particular surface would have been chosen or not depending on the type or texture of a surface.
Prepare to spend hours staring at rock after rock!
That is the plan anyway, worse case Ill put their locations up here and maybe they will be of use to others that follow me.
North Tipp has approx 20 bullauns none of which appear on the net, South Tipp about 10 with a few of them on the net.
Limerick only has about 7 but one of them is in Lough Gur which is kinda interesting because Ive heard of it before.
