The National Monuments Service's description
A feature named 'Druid's Altar in ruins', shown on a pre-publication field map, was omitted from the published OS 6-inch map of 1845-8. There is no information about it in OS documents, nor are there any remains at the site now. Its nature remains uncertain.
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).
