Linked to a local tradition of pilgrimage and healing, the site may have pre-Christian origins associated with a sacred stone or druidic practice. The name 'Cloch mhic rí' suggests a connection to a figure of royal or legendary status, possibly later Christianised or merged with saintly veneration.
