Yeah. That's one I have on my list of ones I need to see!

I have examples on my list from France, Lithuania, Caucasia, Spain, North Africa, Scandinavia, Poland, Romania and Greece. Some of the French, Spanish and Caucasian examples are very much in an old context, being in the middle of tomb cemeteries.

There's the suggestion of a cupmark on this stone - lefthand side - follow the yellow lichen - Xanthoria - distribution. The scratches on the stone look like plough grazes.

Not really a bullaun as such, nor tomb related, but defininitely associated with prehistoric stuff, here's another example of basinage (Can I have that as a word please?) from Menorca:
