The National Monuments Service's description
This was reported by archaeologist Tony Miller in Feb. 2012. He described it as 'a man made altar set against a vertical, north facing rock face. It comprises a two-tier altar supported by dry stone walling. It is adorned by many statues and votive offerings. The Holy Well (CO118-020----) is only c. 3 meters from its western end. '
