What is recorded here
No credible evidence exists that Dr. John Martin or any other real person wrote about this exact place. I will not invent that connection.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MEGALITHIC TOMB: DRUID'S ALTAR (O.S. memoir site; unlocated). Recorded period: NEOLITHIC; PREHISTORIC. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Neolithic megalithic tomb, likely dating to the 4th–3rd millennium BCE. Its designation as a "Druid's Altar" reflects later Celtic or medieval associations, though its original significance relates to early ritual or burial practices in the region.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
