The bullaun at Clane is large, cemented into the wall and has its own living good luck charm.

Bullaun Stone

I’d spent an hour looking for this stone about three years back. After that failed visit, Tom Fourwinds stumbled upon it and I’d been meaning to visit for quite a while.

This was our first site visit of the day and we were delighted to see that it had a small black cat/kitten as a sentinel. The basin on this one is huge, maybe a foot across. It’s cemented into the boundary wall, above the small tributary of the Liffey that flows past the front garden in suburban Clane.
