The third basin measures 20cm x 30cm, 25cm deep at the back. Record no. WI024-030001- was created for the (unknown) original location of this monument.

• WI024-032 Bullaun stone
  Description

  Bullaun 3 in Lickeen consists of a small, rounded granite boulder (52x42cm across, 33cm deep). At one end is a bowl-shaped basin 26cm x 25cm across and 12cm deep. 4cm to one side of the basin are 2 drilled holes. 2.8 and 3c across, 2.5 and 4cm deep respectively. These are like the holes drilled for blasting large boulders, but it seems most unlikely that this ever required to split this particular stone, which is reasonably small and unlikely to have been extracted from a larger boulder. Therefore, the purpose of these is not clear. There is also a small cup mark 3.5cm across and 0.5cm deep. Compiled by: Chris Corlett Date of upload: 19 October 2012

• WI024-033 Bullaun stone
  Description

  Bullaun 4 in Lickeen is largely buried in the ground, on its side and not in situ. It is within an area where other boulders have been buried, underneath a thorn tree. Only a small portion of the stone is visible and unobscured. It consists of a granite boulder. Two small arcs of two separate basins can be made out on two different ends of the stone, indicating that this consists of two opposing bowls, carved on two different ends of the stone. The stone would need to be uprooted in order to gain any measurements of this stone or the bowls. Compiled by: Chris Corlett Date of upload: 19 October 2012
