What is recorded here
Marked 'Penitential Stations' on the 1907 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. This is located at or adjacent to a 'holy well' which is described the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal' (1983), p.304; Site No. 1690. There is no mention of the 'penitential stations' in the description of the well.
Linked to a holy well recorded in the Archaeological Survey of County Donegal, this site was associated with penitential practices, likely involving pilgrimage and ritual cleansing. Such stations were often connected to early Christian traditions of pilgrimage, particularly to sites venerated for their spiritual or healing properties.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
