Others have been swallowed entirely by the land that once sheltered them. In the townland of Tisaxon More in County Cork, a bullaun stone sits somewhere beneath pasture on a south-facing slope, leaving no visible trace on the surface at all. A bullaun is a large stone, usually boulder-sized, into which one or more rounded depressions have been deliberately ground or worn, possibly used for grinding grain or, in a later tradition, associated with cursing rituals and early Christian sites. That this one has vanished from view is not unusual in itself; what is quietly striking is that the disappearance appears to be the result of field clearance, the long, cumulative work of farmers removing obstacles from working land.

The stone's absence from both the 1842 and 1902 Ordnance Survey six-inch maps suggests it was already gone from sight, or at least gone from notice, before the late nineteenth century. Whether it was buried, broken up, or simply incorporated into a field boundary somewhere nearby is unknown. What the record preserves is the fact of its former existence and its location on that sloping pasture, even if the ground itself no longer confirms the claim.
