Recorded monuments

• DG069-023 Bullaun stone

  A probable bullaun stone set in rock outcrop or a large boulder by the side of a laneway. It consists of an opening, .2m wide and 0.2m high in the rock. At the base of this opening is a further .2m depression. The whole suggests a covered bullaun. The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal. A description of the field antiquities of the County from the Mesolithic Period to the 17th century.' Compiled by: Brian Lacey with Eamon Cody, Claire Cotter, Judy Cuppage, Noel Dunne, Vincent Hurley, Celie O'Rahilly, Paul Walsh and Seán Ó Nualláin (Lifford: Donegal County Council, 1983).
