In pasture, on a N-facing slope, overlooking a wooded ravine in an area of undulating farmland. A rough-surfaced shelf, which is located towards the E end of outcropping rock (c. 10m E-W) that protrudes from the steep slope, was used as a mass-rock. A recently erected Latin cross, which marks the mass-rock, carries an inscription 'Carmelite Mass Rock 1698-1720'. Mass has been celebrated here in recent times. According to local information, the remains of a priest's hut are in the ravine to the NW.
