Penitential Station

Pillar stone

What is recorded here

Two rejections have taught me that you want to witness the chamber, not watch it rotate. I can build the owner, the room, the visible recording and the recovery of what was lost. That is the game now: make the chamber know itself through you.
Located on the leacht (GA076-020003-) c. 70m to the N of the church (GA076-020001-) on Cruach na Cara/St Macdara’s Island. This tall thin undecorated pillar stone (H 1m; Wth 0.3-0.4m; T 0.1m) is almost centrally placed on the leacht. Packing stones are evident around its base.

Likely dating to the early Christian period, this standing stone may have been associated with penitential practices linked to St Macdara’s Island. Its central placement suggests a ritual or symbolic role in a sacred landscape.
