What is recorded here
Depicted on the current edition of the Ordnance Survey 6-inch map in gothic script as 'Friar's Seat' and partially hachured as a cliff-face. The potential monument has not been visited and it is possible that this could be a geological feature rather than a natural feature. Described in 1886 as 'on a crag, a little to the N. W. of the abbey, is a flat stone called the "Friar's Seat" ' (Kinahan 1886, 424).
