What is recorded here
Natural rock outcrop acting as a mass-rock that is now located in coniferous plantation which is situated on top of high ground near the edge of a steep drop with panoramic views in all directions especially to the S and E. Nearby sweat-house (TN032-010) located 275m to the SW.
A mass-rock used during the penal era for secret Catholic worship; such sites were often chosen for their strategic visibility to warn of approaching authorities. No specific saint or cure is associated with this site, but it reflects the resilience of religious practice under persecution.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
