It is written in the last few days but its a B in terms of quality. Ceoil has included a lot of scholarly sources and they are presented in a neutral tone. A QPQ has been done. Its an intriguing subject as the hook hints at. Not sure that "(also known as tomb-shaped shrines)" adds to the hook as a shrine in the shape of a tomb is fairly obvious. If I was creating an alt hook then taking one into battle carried by a priest hits my "that's weird" button. Thanks for a good read with quite a few intriguing links.
