Why this matters

Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, the stones at Clonbrusk may have functioned as a ritual or territorial marker. Their positioning on a prominent hillock suggests a ceremonial or symbolic use, possibly linked to landscape features or ancient pathways.

What is recorded here

Sited on top of a natural pointed hillock (which appears to be scarped slightly at its base) are two large limestone slabs/boulders (E stone L. 3.8m x 1.25m; W stone L. 3.1m x 1.7m). One lies flat and the on the E side is on its edge but is tilted westwards towards the W slab/stone. The top of the hillcok has a small circular flat shape. There is a quarry on the SE siude of the hillock and a fairly gentle slope to the hillock at the W and N. Known locally as the 'Druid's Altar' (English, N. W. JOAS, 1, 1969, 4).
