What is recorded here

Located on the W side of the main Ballina-Killala road, opposite a holy well (MA030-052003-). This holy stone is not shown on the 1837 OS 6-inch map, but is named 'St. Patrick's Rock' on the 1930 edition. It consists of a boulder, on which according to local information, a granite cross (MA030-052004-) was once mounted. According to tradition a rag bush once stood nearby.
