What is recorded here

On top of a gently sloping hillock, in the SW quadrant of a ringfort (TS058-033----), in gently undulating pasture. According to local tradition, this was the location of a mass-rock. The mass-rock consists of a natural flat-topped outcrop (dims. 3.8m NW-SE; 1.8m NE-SW; H 0.8m) that appears to be of heavily eroded limestone. The surface is uneven and partially covered with moss and grass. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
