Mass-rock in Aghacurreen

Mass-rock

Why this matters

A mass-rock used during the 17th and 18th centuries when Catholic worship was suppressed, such sites were where priests celebrated Mass in secret, often under threat of discovery and persecution. This rock is associated with the nearby cashel, suggesting a continuity of religious and communal significance in the landscape.

What is recorded here

At the crest of the E-facing slope of a NW-SE ridge, at the SE end, and just 9m SE of the perimeter of cashel (RO014-041001-). A stone (L 2.8m; Wth 1.2m; H 0.7m) is regarded locally as a mass rock. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
