Druids Altar

Marked on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as 'Druid's Altar, and described on the 1915 ed. as the site of a Dolmen. It is situated on a low-lying, level landscape. It was described c. 1910 as the site of a 'Druid's Altar' (OS Name Book), and later described as a collection of boulders in a field wall (Gannon 1972). These have since been removed and replaced by a modern replica of a megalithic tomb (H c. 1m). Archaeological testing (06E0750) immediately to the S produced no related archaeological material (Morahan 2010b). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
