What is recorded here

At the crest of the SW-facing edge of a low plateau. Conglomerate boulder (dims 3m NW-SE; 1m NE-SW at NW to 2m NE-SW at SE; H 0.8m at NW to 1.5m at SE) with a vertical and straight SW edge (max. H 1.8m) where a modern stone altar (dims 1.5m x 1m; H 0.9m) has been built. A drystone wall (L c. 10m) extends down the slope from the W edge of the boulder. Mass is celebrated at the beginning of September each year, and there is a local tradition of a massacre having occurred here. Children's burial ground (RO032-05001-) is immediately to the N.
