On low-lying ground on the S bank of the estuary of the Kilcolgan River. This poorly preserved and overgrown altar consists of a cairn of loose stones (L 5m; Wth 3m) upon which stands an 18th-century inscribed rectangular slab (GA103-127001-). According to McCaffrey (1952, 196, no. 23), the altar was designed ‘to protect a well' at which 'Offerings are left’, but no visible surface trace of the latter survives. (Bradley and Dunne 1992, 134)
