The National Monuments Service's description

Marked on the current edition of the OS 6-inch map as 'Altars (site of)' but not indicated on the first edition of the OS 6-inch map. The same designation was used by the OS in the townland of Muff in order to identify the site of a mass rock (DG005-028).
