No designated site (Special Area of Conservation, Special Protection Area, Natural Heritage Area or proposed one) touches the townland of Altar.

## Recorded monuments (Sites and Monuments Record, National Monuments Service)

- CO148-005: Megalithic tomb - wedge tomb, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCO148-005----. On a roadside platform, c. 30m from and 4m above the rocky shoreline of the NE edge of Toormore Bay. This wedge tomb was excavated in 1989 by Dr. William F. O'Brien (see summary: https://excavations.ie/report/1989/Cork/0000842/). It consists of a simple slab-built chamber aligned ENE-WSW. This gallery is formed by two orthostat rows of three slabs each (L 3.4m; Wth 1.9m at W end, 1m at E end). One roofstone remained in position above the E end; a second rested against the W end of the gallery. No clear evidence for a cairn was recovered during excavation, which may be explained by intensive post-medieval cultivation and the early 19th-century road construction. The socket for a backstone and a low stone kerb feature at the entrance were uncovered. The latter contained three fragments of cetacean bone deliberately deposited in this construction context, and overlaid two pits on either side of the entrance which contained shattered slaty stone, possibly tooling debris gathered after the deliberate shaping of the orthostats and capstones. Two cobble-hammers used in this activity were also recovered. A pit containing votive deposits of limpet, periwinkle shells and fish bones was found at the E end of the chamber, and a small spread of cremated human bone was uncovered inside the entrance area. Finds outside the chamber included struck pebble flint, including two end-scrapers and a broken hollow scraper, recovered in cultivation-disturbed contexts. Only a solitary fragment of struck flint was recovered from the chamber. (de Valera and O Nualláin 1982, 41, no. 61; Roberts 1988, Ch. 4, No. 19; pers. comm. Dr. W. F. O'Brien; https://excavations.ie/report/1989/Cork/0000842/) This is a National Monument in State care (no. 645) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
