The National Monuments Service's description
Associated with an enclosure (GA111-013001-) named ‘Aharla’ on the OS 6-inch maps. This modern altar-like feature is built against the E wall of the enclosure. Its base (L 0.9m; D 0.6m; H 0.42m) is constructed of limestone and concrete blocks and it is capped with a roughly square flagstone (T 0.09m). An inscribed plaque (GA111-013001-) dedicated to ‘St Ronane’ is visible above it.
