Penitential station in Ballinaspick North

Located in a coniferous forest at the bottom of a N-facing slope. A small triangular cairn (WA029-001001-) (dims. 2m x 3m; H 0.9m), perhaps a penitential cairn, is located just to the W of the channel of the holy well (WA029-001----). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 26 July 2011

A penitential station associated with early Christian pilgrimage practices, likely linked to a holy well, where pilgrims would perform acts of penance such as walking the station barefoot or reciting prayers. The small triangular cairn nearby may mark a specific point in the penitential route, common in Irish sacred landscapes.
