Altar

This feature is listed as a 'dolmen' by Borlase (1897) and later as a 'prehistoric chamber tomb' (Killanin and Duignan 1962; 1967). All trace of it had been removed by 1904 (OS 1:2,500 Name Book). Although there is no information about the nature of the site, there can be little doubt that this, like most other sites so named on the OS 6-inch maps of County Donegal, was a Penal altar.
