Penitential station in Termon

On level rough grazing, scrub and exposed limestone pavement with higher ground to the W. One of a pair of cairns, along with CL010-026007- c. 3m to its N. This is a low, roughly circular drystone cairn (H 0.8-1m; L 2m) with a slab on the top which is orientated E-W. A third cairn (CL010-026008-) stands nearby, c. 30m to the ESE. Field inspection in 1999 noted a collapsed site which may have been another penitential station located c. 13m to the SSE of CL010-026009- (L 1.9-2.1m; max. H 0.8m) with a flag on the top aligned NNW-SSE. Also associated is an alignment (NW-SE) of four penitential stations (CL010-026003-, CL010-026004-, CL010-026005- and CL010-026006-) c. 70m to the NW, with ‘Tobernafiaghanta’ holy well (CL010-026001-) and another penitential station (CL010-026002-) a short distance (c.40m) beyond again, to the NW.
