What is recorded here
This massive glacial erratic (H 2.7-4.4m; max. Wth 7.1m), named 'St. Patrick's Stone' on the 1898-9 resurvey of the OS 6-inch map, is located close to the NW summit of Corkernarusheeny Hill, in an area of rough terrain scattered with numerous boulders. A dark band running diagonally across its S face is believed to mark line of the chain used by St Patrick to tow the stone from Maam to its present location.
