Bullaun stone, Kerrykeel, Co. Donegal

In the townland of Carrowkeel in County Donegal sits a curious reminder of Ireland's early Christian heritage; a bullaun stone that has weathered centuries of Atlantic storms and changing landscapes.

These distinctive stones, found scattered across Ireland, feature one or more cup-shaped hollows carved into their surface and served various purposes in medieval communities, from grinding grain to holding holy water for rituals and healing practices.
