A 3 basin bullaun that’s not marked on Sheet 56. Take the road south from Oldbridge to Laragh. After about a mile the road dips where Keocha’s Brook passes under the road. 10 metres before this on the right-hand side is a gate into a large, sloping field. Walk west through here just above the brook for approx. 500 metres. The stone is there in the corner of the field.
It’s a large lump of a rock that may have been previously earthfast. It reminds me of Clonmore bullaun stone: themodernantiquarian.com/site/935
Two of the basins are over a foot in diameter and quite deep. The other is very shallow, maybe the beginnings of a forgotten project.
For more on this see miscellaneous post below.

Bullaun Stone

Liam Price mentions 3 bullauns in his notebooks:

29th October 1933
“The top of the hill (1171ft) is called ‘the Whistling Bank’. Further W than the pond near Johnny McDonnell’s house (which was previously Farrel’s) are three ‘bullaun’ stones, all granite blocks, natural boulders. The first has three bowls: two of them 13in. each in diameter, and 7 and a half in. and 8 and a half in. deep respectively: close together, rather vertical sides: the third is very shallow – 10in. diameter, 1in. deep: like a place where a bowl was started.”
