This stone was used by priests in the time when it was not a good idea to be a Roman Catholic.It was an improvised altar for Mass. There is a chalice engraved on the side of the stone. It is a stone not a rock and may have been of some significance in earlier times. It is rock art christianised but well worth a look.
