In elevated pasture, built into N face of low hill overlooking mill race and old road known locally as Bianconi's road (pers. comm. Dara Reid) immediately to the N. Harrystown flour mill (WM023-084----) located 30m to W, small bridge crossing mill race 8m to NW. This mass rock consists of a flat recumbent slab (L 1.31m; Wth 0.5m; T 0.2m) acting as an altar which was supported on loosely piled stones which has been built into the N face of the hill which rises high above the altar of the mass rock. The mass rock is located beside an old road now used as a laneway which is locally referred to as Bianconi's road. According to the woman living in the nearby mill house this stone was known locally as the mass rock (pers. comm. Dara Reid). Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 22 August 2014
