Bullaun
Situated at Clare Bridge 2.5 miles from Moville on Derry Road. Arable.
View somewhat restricted. This bullaun, doubtless a mashing basin
from former days, would appear to be long established in its present
useful position. It has been built, recessed, into the wall on the
upper or North side of the road, and is used as a well and drinking
trough. Water is directed into it from a spout above it at the back.
The water continually flows into it, spilling over. The top surface
is very smooth.
