No surface traces visible of bullaun stone inside Annaghharvey graveyard (OF018-017001-) described by Thomas Stanley in the ninetenth century as 'Another sandstone lies on its back at the moat (OF018-017005-) and churchyard of Anaghharvy; a hollow in which it retains water is resorted to by urchins to get cured of their warts' (Stanley 1870-1, 28).
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
