"The island known as Saint’s Island, on which are the remains of a Priory, was in early times the resort of pilgrims, and is said to have contained the original St Patrick's Purgatory , for centuries removed to Station Island. The latter island is less than a mile from the south-east shore of the lake, is about one acre in extent, and contains two small chapels, one of which is appropriated to the use of those doing penance, a residence for the officiating priests, and a few inhabited cabins. The road from Pettigoe to the ferry, by which access is gained to the island, is very bad, over bog and mountain, and the reason assigned for the non-construction of a good road is, that the pilgrims would be interrupted by the presence of too many heretics!
Over this road to the ferry thousands of pilgrims, of all ages, wend their way to the island, to atone for their sins and offences, by way of penance, barefooted. The ferry is let for L.160 per
annum by the proprietor of the lake, and at one time yielded L.260. It is calculated that from 10,000 to 15,000 votaries annually repair to do penance in this bleak and dreary scene from the 1st of June to the 15th of August. On the latter day the affair concludes, the pilgrims return to their respective localities, the boat is laid up, and silence once more reigns supreme over the solitary and sequestered Lough Derg."

"In this Lake there are many Islands, the biggest of which is by some called St. Aveogs, who is said to have been buried in it; by others St. Fintanus's; and by others the Island of Saints. There was a Convent of Canons Regular, of the Order of St. Augustin, subject to the Monastery of the Apostles Peter and Paul at Armagh, erected in it, and a fine Chappel and convenient Houses built for the Monks, over whom a Prior presided, and two of them were usually chosen to receive and instruct the Pilgrims. The Remains of these Buildings are still to be seen. It is said that the Passage into Purgatory was first found in this Island; but it being near the Shore, and a Bridge from the main Land into it, which gave the People free and ready Access, this Passage into Purgatory was stopped up, and another opened in a less Island about half a Mile from the Shore, by which Means the Monks wisely gained two Points, viz. the Profit of a Ferry-Boat for wafting the Pilgrims over the Lake, and an Opportunity for working farther upon the Imaginations of the People, and making them believe, that were really going into another World."

"A Spanish Benedictine, called Feijoo, wrote a treatise against the genuineness of St. Patrick's Purgatory, which was received with great approbation on the Continent. Their arguments may be briefly summed up : —
1. There is no evidence that St. Patrick was ever in Lough Derg at all.
2. There were no Canons Regular of St. Augustine in Ireland before the beginning of the 12th century ; and, therefore, they could not have been made guardians of St. Patrick's Purgatory in the 6th century.
3. It is heretical to speak of the terrestrial paradise as the abode of souls, and distinct from Purgatory and Heaven ; II Council of Lyons, and the Council of Florence, according to Feijoo, at least implicitly, condemn this error.
In our opinion these arguments are by no means conclusive. It does not surely follow, because we have no written record of the fact, that St. Patrick never visited Lough Derg. Have we written records of all the places he visited during his seven years' sojourn in Connaught? We have a strong and vivid traditional record that he visited Lough Derg, and this tradition is confirmed by Lanigan's own account of how our Apostle, when in the district of Tyrconnell, went back eastward towards Lough Erne, the very place where Lough Derg is situated. We know, too, that our Saint was in the habit of withdrawing to lonely and retired places for the purpose of prayer and penance, and no place could be more suitable for that purpose than an island in Lough Derg. The Bollandists answer the second objection. It is true there were no Canons Regular in Ireland before Imar of Armagh introduced them to his great Church of St. Peter and Paul, built about 1126 ; but as the Canons Regular reformed or repeopled most of the old Irish monasteries desolated during the Danish wars, the custom gradually grew up of calling their monastic predecessors also in those houses Canons Regular, and even St. Patrick himself was called a Canon Regular, and his festival specially celebrated in their Order. As to the charge of heresy no one expects that the vision of a rough soldier like Owen would conform to strict theological accuracy. The Councils mentioned, too, were held since the time of Henry of Saltrey."

"Before any person was permitted to enter this cavern, and few even of those who made the pilgrimage had the courage to enter it, it was necessary, in the first place, to get the permission of the bishop by letter addressed to the Prior, and the bishop always dissuaded the pilgrims from attempting it. Having presented the bishop's letter to the Prior, the latter, also dissuaded the adventurous individual, but if he persisted in his purpose, he had to remain five days in retreat ; then a Requiem Mass was celebrated at which he received the Holy Communion, and he finally made his will. After these somewhat terrifying preliminaries, if he was still determined to visit the cavern, the clergy, in solemn procession, accompanied him to the pit's mouth, singing the litanies, the Prior unlocked the door, the adventurer took holy water, signed himself with the Sign of the Cross, and entered the cave, which was closed after him. Next day the clergy went again to the pit's mouth ; if there was no appearance of the pilgrim, he was given up for lost, but if he did appear, he was taken out, the clergy with great joy conducted him to the church, where he spent fifteen days more in thanksgiving for his deliverance, which was almost regarded as a mark of predestination."

"I remember a strange Easter Sunday spent on Saints' Island, not indeed with any hope of finding archaeological confirmation of its history, but simply in communing with the past. Neither the Celtic monks, direct heirs to Dabheoc, nor the Canons Regular of Saint Augustine, who succeeded them, celebrated the Resurrection there that morning. No Alleluias were sung in Paschal gladness, there were no tiers of candles, nor banks of bright flowers. A melancholy silence shrouded the scene, broken only by the occasional mournful cries of aquatic birds. It was Easter Sunday only for furtive wild animals, heedless winds, rank vegetation, and the enormous pillows of moss characteristic of this sward."

An account of the resource
"St. Peter's Island and St. Peter's well are situated about a half a mile due North of the village of Mountcharles. They are in the townland of Turras Hill. The little Island is in the centre of the lake, but since the erection of the waterworks in Mountcharles the level of the water was raised, and the Island disappeared.
Centuries ago the catholics of this parish assembled to the shores of this lake to mass, and to give adoration to their Creator.
When the Augustinian Monks were banished from Lough Derg by the English, they came to Turras Hill. They had a retreat here. The catholics came to this place to worship their Divine King. These monks came to Turras Hill in the year sixteen hundred and seventy, and they stayed until the year seventeen hundred and thirty one.
About twenty yards from the lough there is an altar. On this altar there is a statue of the Blessed Virgin. The pilgrimage to this well opens on the feast of St. Peter and St. Paul, the twenty ninth of June, and it closes on the feast of the Assumption, the fifteenth of August. The following are the exercises of the turras.
When the pilgrim comes in sight of the well he starts saying five decades of the Holy Rosary. He continues praying and finishes the five decades standing at the well.
There are three heaps of stones beside the well. The pilgrim goes round each of the heaps and says one our father, one Hail Mary and a Gloria at each of them when making the circuit.
Then he begins fifteen decades. He proceeds towards the altar and finishes the fifteen decades of the Rosary.
There are three other heaps of stones beside the Altar. The pilgrim goes round each of these heaps and says one Our Father, One Hail Mary, and a Gloria when making the circuit at each.
Then he goes down to the lough and says nine our Fathers, nine Hail Marys, and nine Glorias, looking out towards the lough, and seven (Hail) Hail Marys, and seven Our Fathers, standing with his back towards the water. Then he gets six stones and leaves a stone in each heap. Then he says seven Our Fathers, seven Hail Marys, and seven Glorias in St. Peter's chair. Then the station is finished.
Every person from the surrounding districts makes this station during the summer months."

"(June 8, 1632) Right Honorable. I have received a copy of a letter sent by my lord Balfour, directed to his Lordship, myself and others for seizing until his Majesty's use St Patrick's Purgatory and his Lordship appointed me to meet him near the Lough the 5th day of this month, whither I accordingly came and stayed in the comfortless place almost two days and on night, none coming. And then I got intelligence that the Abbot, Priests and Friars which were in the Island had gotten knowledge of your Lordship's directions : where upon in the night time they stole out of the Island in a boat, which at the least would carry forty persons. Whereupon I sent to search for the said boat which was found and brought unto me. And perceiving that none of the rest mentioned in your Lordship's Letters were likely to come and being confident that you would take it in good part that I should rather upon such occasion vary from your directions than leave your intentions unperformed, I cause to land some men upon a litle Island where Friers do inhabit near unto the other Island which is called St Patrick's Purgatory, where I found 431 persons doing such fooleries as is not to be imagined could be done among Christians. All the foresaid number of persons I have caused to be put safe to shore : which was done without any kind of violence : for seeing the Priests and Friers had left the Island and carried with them all manner Provision and goods that therein was, the people were willing and desirous to be put on shore. The which being done, I did cause the Boat, which was the safeguard of the Island, to be drawn on shore, and delivered the same to the friends and servants of one Master Magrath, unto whome the Boat, Island and Country doth belong and told them that it was your Lordship's directions that the same should not be meddled withal, not the Island any more frequented until His Majesty's pleasure were further known ; and that your Lordships would signify the same more at large. All things being thus fairly done, I hope that your Lordships will not dislike what I adventured myself alone to do what was trusted unto me and others. And I am well assured that if I had slipped that occasion, your intentions should not have been executed."

"When we were within half a bow-shot of the said island of the Purgatory I saw a bird blacker than coal take flight ; it had not a single plume or feather on its back, save only four or five on each wing, and it was shaped like a heron, but rather larger. And when I saw and noticed it I thought it a great marvel, and I began to tremble, and my heart beat fast with fear, and my hair stood straight upon end so that I could scarcely smooth it down with my hands and make it lie flat. The canon knew quite well what it was, for he began to make the sign of the cross, and he signed himself four or five times. I asked him what it meant, and what this bird might be and the reason of the great fear which had come upon me. But he answered, trying to put me off. as if he did not wish to tell me, saying [in Latin] Nothing ! it's nothing ! don't ask questions ! don't ask questions ! and bidding me be of good cheer, and hope in God, and commend myself to Him. This made me the more suspicious, and I instantly and piteously besought him in God's name to tell me fully what this might be. Thereupon he replied that since I asked him in the Lord's name, and in such a manner, he could not refuse, and he began as follows
'At the time when our Lord shewed St. Patrick this Purgatory, after him, and one of his disciples called St. Nicholas, many went in, and most of them perished and came forth no more and were never heard of again. St. Patrick marveled greatly at this, and devoutly prayed to God with constant prayer and discipline, until he saw by the Holy Spirit that the reason of it was a wicked demon called Corna, who by his many and various temptations caused all the people to perish. Then St. Patrick made God heard his prayer [sic], and appeared to him in visible form in this place on the island, and said:-"Patrick, I have heard thy prayer," and shewed him the wicked bird, saying: "I have bound him in this shape and he shall never again have power to harm any man, and he shall retain this shape until the Day of Judgment, and he shall not have power to abide anywhere but on a stone or a withered tree. And when any Christian comes to this island he shall go forth therefrom and abide in some other island, but shall not be able to leave the lake."' Then the canon added that when the accursed bird Corna blows the horn with his beak, like a man, it is the sign of perdition for him who is about to enter Purgatory ; but, God be praised, he did not blow the horn for me, and I heard nothing. If I marveled do you likewise now marvel, when you hear these words, for to this hour my heart beats when I think of it."
