    "Druids' Altar" (Cloughboley)

    It consists of three upright stones surmounted by a fourth

    Local tradition -
    One day Fionn, Oisin, Oscar and Goll were sitting on Knocknarea hill and they threw "finger-stones" to see who could fling one farthest. Three of the stones fell on end and remained standing upright. The fourth fell on the top of the three.

    (Two of the stones are now standing, the other having slipped)
