Irregular-shaped erratic boulder (L 1.7m NE–SW; Wth 1m; H 0.7m) with two deep natural indentations on its N edge and a small, shallow depression (diam. c. 0.2m) on the top surface. According to tradition, the stone bears ‘the impression of St. Patrick’s knee’ and acquired a reddish hue from the Saint's blood. (OS Letters 1836, 64 (22-3)).
