| Located 200m SE of the church at St. Peacaun's, on the E side of a small river and in the centre of St. Peacaun's cell, is this fine example of a triple bullaun. According to local folklore, one of them would always contain some water and until recently it was used as a baptism font. It is said that the 'Butter Stone' was once held inside one of the bullauns. The bullaun containing the water measures 0.40m in diameter and is 0.30m in depth. The second large bullaun measures 0.30m in diameter and 0.33m in depth while the shallow bullaun is 0.15m in diameter. The bullaun stone is lozenge in shape and measures 1.3m in length and 0.90m in width. |
