What is recorded here

Mass-rock in Gortnabarnan is a mass-rock in Gortnabarnan, County Tipperary, Ireland. Local tradition identifies this natural flat-topped outcrop as a place where masses were said, in the southwest quadrant of a ringfort. The eroded limestone measures 3.8 metres northwest to southeast and 1.8 metres northeast to southwest, rising 0.8 metres above the pasture. The 2011 inventory recorded its uneven surface partly covered with moss and grass.

On top of a gently sloping hillock, in the SW quadrant of a ringfort (TS058-033----), in gently undulating pasture. According to local tradition, this was the location of a mass-rock. The mass-rock consists of a natural flat-topped outcrop (dims. 3.8m NW-SE; 1.8m NE-SW; H 0.8m) that appears to be of heavily eroded limestone. The surface is uneven and partially covered with moss and grass. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
