Inch St Lawrence porthole
The porthole of Inch St Lawrence is in a field across from Lawrence's Well and the ruined church in the townland Inch Saint Lawrence ( Irish Ins Shan Labhráis ), southeast of Limerick in County Limerick in Ireland . The term bullaun (or bullaun stone) refers to the mostly knee-high flat round stone that can have one or more (multiple) depressions (also called bullaun) and is particularly common in Ireland.
Inch St Lawrence's bullhorn is over two feet long, about three feet high and three feet wide. The slightly off-center recess is oval and has a diameter of 0.4 by 0.3 m and is very deep at 0.55 m. The north side of the stone is mossy.
Nearby are the standing stones of Inch St Lawrence and the standing stones of High Park .
