- WI024-030: Bullaun stone (present location), https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWI024-030----. One of two bullauns (see WI024-031----). This consists of a large granite boulder 1.65m x 1.1m across, and 75cm high. At one edge are three basins, and there are no basins within the flat area on the highest part of the stone. The largest is 33cm x 30cm, and 12-20cm deep. This basin shares one edge with a smaller basin immediately to one side. This smaller basin measures 18cm x 24cm, and 9cm deep. One side is open at the edge of the stone. 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.

At one edge are three basins, and there are no basins within the flat area on the highest part of the stone. The largest is 33cm x 30cm, and 12-20cm deep.

- WI024-032: Bullaun stone, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWI024-032----. 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, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWI024-033----. 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

Works at or in relation to a recorded monument need two months' written notice to the National Monuments Service (National Monuments (Amendment) Act 1994, section 12).

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
