The Bullaun of Ardattin ( Irish bullán ) is in the hamlet of Ardattin ( Irish Ard Aitinn ) in the townland of Ballynoe, about south of Tullow and east of Ballon in County Carlow (wrongly located in County Wexford ) in Ireland .

The large, irregularly shaped porthole stone lies in a small, round wall. The portlaun is said to have been moved to this location from nearby Ballinastraw. The stone is about 1.0 meters high and wide and a little over 1.0 meters long. It is now on supporting stones, but should originally have been a boulder . In the top are two closely spaced large portlauns, the largest of which is about 40 cm in diameter, the other is insignificantly smaller.
