Druids Altar in Carrownagh

On a knoll in good pasture c. 500m ENE of the court tomb (SL021-019----) at Arnasbrack. The tomb consists of an E-facing gallery (L 5.7m; Wth 1.7-2.4m). Two courtstones flank the N side of the gallery entrance which is formed by two jambs. Another pair of jambs divide the gallery into two chambers. Two orthostats form the S side of each chamber and the N side of each is now represented by a single sidestone. There are two prostrate slabs in the court area, the larger possibly a displaced roofstone. There is no trace of mound around the structure but the gallery contains a considerable amount of fill.
