What is recorded here

An Chruit is a remote Donegal island where sacred wells keep reappearing because the sea and wind constantly erase the old ones. Pilgrims still circle the shifting springs on 15 August, while local tradition claims the Leacht Mhór could judge a sick person’s chance of recovery through sleep. Even the forgotten parts remain alive in the story, including an indecipherable graveyard inscription and a flagstone that hints St. Francis may have touched this small, restless place.
