Chapel (period Unknown)

What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Tiree, Todhar An Teanpuill as Chapel (period Unknown). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Todhar An Teanpuill, or the Well of the Temple, on the Isle of Tiree is traditionally associated with St. Donnan, a 6th-century Irish monk and martyr linked to the nearby Temple (Cill Donnain) and his holy site at Eigg. The well may have been used for healing rituals, and such sites were often believed to possess curative properties, particularly for skin ailments or general ill health, in line with broader Scottish Gaelic well-cult traditions.
