A 'druidical altar' was found 'lying on the ground' in this townland, on the Inishowen peninsula, in 1773. The feature was a large slab, 28 feet (c. 8.55m) long and 25 feet (c. 7.6m) broad, full of cavities and cups and possibly decorated (Gough 1789). It has not been found, and its nature is uncertain.
Gough 1789, vol. 3, 645 (sketch facing p. 603); Graves 1864-74, 427-8; Graves 1876-8, 289-90.
The above description was published in the 'Survey of the Megalithic Tombs of Ireland. Volume VI, County Donegal.' Compiled by: Eamon Cody (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002).

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
