What is recorded here

In a deciduous wood at the N-facing foot of the Dartry Mountains. A sandstone altar (H 0.9m) with an oval top (dims 0.9m x 0.5m) has an incised cross and 'IHS' inscription on one face. The bullaun stone (LE001-064002-) is nearby, and both were established here in 1975 close to their original findspot when the ground around them was paved. See the attached view of the mass-rock at the centre. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 September 2008
