from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
BW

The Clonlisk Bullaun is behind a hedge next to the road and near the National School in the townland of Clonlisk ( Irish Cluain Leisc ) west of Roscrea in County Offaly in Ireland . The term bullaun (Irish bullán ) also refers to the mostly low stone and the sometimes several (multiple) hemispherical hollows, with most stones only having one hollow.

The large double porthole stone is 2 m long, 1.4 m wide and 1.3 m high and has a wide protrusion on the southwest side. The two west-east oriented portlauns are 0.35 m in diameter and 0.2 m deep. The southwest side of the stone is overgrown by moss and the hedge on the road side is on the northeast side.
