If anything in Ireland should be called a "Druid's Altar' then the large, flat-topped earthfast rock to the north of Blakestown Upper (County Wicklow) certainly deserves the title. This si a real proto-altar, which forces you to stand behind it and face west towards Slieve Bloom on the horizon.
Just 50m or so SE and slightly up the hill from this amazing stone are two recumbent stones, both of which appear to have been shaped. They both look as though they are fallen standing stones, one of them having broken in half when it fell.
There are other stones around here that seem significant too, including a possible avenue that includes the proto-altar and these two fallen stones.
The whole of this slope needs to be properly surveyed.
