    people as to what this monument of earth was ever called. I have been to see it and the term "Druids Altar" was used by the Charles family who are living there. It is about three miles from Gorey. It is on this farm that the stone querns were found and are still to be seen there.
    There is also a raheen near the old ruined Church in Lower Kilpipe, Annacurra, two miles from Aughrim.
    On Father Sweetman's estate, Mount Saint Brenedict, near Gorey Co Wexford, there is the remains of another large rath on the hill.
