"St Patrick's Chair", a roughly-circular outcrop of rock, is covered with many cup-marks,
concentric rings, and maze-motifs over an area 3 metres across.

 

On two days every year in (e.g. April 22nd and October 21st 2001)
the setting sun rolls down Croagh Patrick to the W, when observed from close by St Patrick's Chair
- whose direct view to Croagh Patrick is, unfortunately, obscured by farm buildings.
