Situated in a rough, wet, scrub-covered, secluded, steep N-facing mountain side. The monument comprises a roughly-built altar dating to the period when the Penal Laws were in force. The altar is an irregularly-shaped slab (L 0.7m; Wth. 0.42m; H 0.3m) aligned NW-SE. This is supported on its NE side by a single boulder and on both its NW and SE sides by a relatively large uprights topped by narrow, horizontally placed, packing slabs to achieve a relatively level surface . The SW side, presumably where the sacred vessels etc. were temporarily held, is left open.
