This nearly 4-foot-tall, two-horned altar from the site of Tell es-Safi (Gath of the Philistines) suggests the origins of the Philistines are to be sought in the Aegean world. Photo: Courtesy Aren Maeir/The Tell Es-Safi/Gath Archaeological Project.

Looks a bit like a half an altar possibly? 1.5’ x 1.5’ is not much room to offer up a sacrifice.

Jeremiah 47:4 KJV 4 Because of the day that cometh to spoil all the Philistines, and to cut off from Tyrus and Zidon every helper that remaineth: for the LORD will spoil the Philistines, the remnant of the country of Caphtor.
Amos 9:7 KJV 7 Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith the LORD. Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt? and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?
Caphtor was the ancient name for Crete

Caphtor was Cyprus, not Crete.

Depends on what you are sacrificing.

There appears to be significant fracturing damage (rounding) on the entire right side of the altar -- including lower down on the base.
Just based on that single photo, I'd say there's significant likelihood that that is a damaged four-horn altar...
...But, I'm just a lithicist, who has broken up a lot of of rock while replicating ancient stone-working technology...
