The National Monuments Service's description

A 'Druid's Altar', recorded in the 1930s in the S side of Lisbabe townland, and described as 'a huge slab seven feet [2.13m] long' resting on two other slabs 'three feet [0.91m] high and perfectly balanced'; it was also noted that only one out of a total of seven slabs remained (IFC). The precise location of this structure is not known and it may have been in that part of Lisbabe townland on OS 6-inch map 67.
