"Before drawing to a conclusion, I should not forget to mention that at two o'clock each afternoon the pilgrims' boat starts for Saints' Island, which is about two miles distant from Station Island ; and a more delightful little trip can hardly be imagined. During the voyage the pilgrims while away the time most agreeably by singing litanies and hymns, and occasionally the sound of instrumental music may be heard. Having traversed Saints' Island, they start on their homeward trip, after having spent about two hours in this charming little excursion."

"On one occasion a boat full of pilgrims was upset when within a few yards of the island, and nearly 60 persons were drowned. At that period it is said that the boatmen were Protestants, over whom the Prior had no control, but since the occurrence of that melancholy accident they have been Roman Catholics. According to all accounts, the scenes at Lough Derg during the pilgrimage must be most extraordinary, but it appears that only the initiated , or properly qualified, can become acquainted with the doings at St Patrick’s Purgatory."

"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."

Description
An account of the resource
It is traditionally believed that a monastic settlement was founded here in the fifth century by St. Patrick who installed Dabheoc as the first abbot. There are forty-six islands in Lough Derg but only two of them are of archaeological interest. The original monastic settlement is believed to have been located on Saint's (formerly St. Dabheog's) Island. This became a priory dependant on the Augustinian Abbey of SS Peter and Paul, Armagh in the 1130's and was suppressed and abandoned towards the end of the sixteenth century. The chief concern of the monastery was to minister to the needs of the pilgrimages to the cave, known as St. Patrick's Purgatory, on nearby Station Island. Some sources suggest that the original cave had been located on Saint's Island and that the pilgrimage was later transferred to its present location (Leslie 1961, 9-10). The Lough Derg pilgrimage was famous throughout Europe in the middle ages and a large literature grew up around it (Curtayne 1962, 160-62). An ancient roadway to the pilgrimage site from the village of Pettigo passes Rathnacross ringfort (DG105-002-) and Templecarn old church and burial ground (DG105-003; DG105-015-). The roadway continues to a point on the SW shore of the lake where a wooden bridge (DG101-002-) connected it to Saint's Island. Natural boulders projecting from the lake may be the remains of the supports for this bridge. On the SE shore of the lake is a natural L-shaped stone known as St. Brigid's Chair. St. Dabheoc's Seat on top of a hill to the S of the lake formerly consisted of a stone seat in front of a 'grave-like opening' (O'Connor 1879, 40). The area is now forested and nothing appears to remain of the site.
SAINT'S ISLAND
The remains here include the W half of a single-banked earthen enclosure (DG101-001001-) c. 20m in diameter. A fosse on the outside is up to 1.5m wide. The interior is uneven and overgrown and the E half appears to have been destroyed by a graveyard (DG101-001002-). This consists of a rectangular area 27m NE-SW x 22.5m. It is enclosed by a drystone wall. The interior is uneven and overgrown. At its centre is an irregular pile of rubble with graveslabs indiscriminately placed on it. The 3rd edition of the OS 6-inch map seems to show this as a rectangular foundation (DG101-001003-). A pathway (DG101-001004-) 44m long formed by two lines of grass-grown stones leads NE to the foundations of another rectangular structure (DG101-001005-). This is 9m E-W and 6.55m wide. It appears to be of drystone construction, the walls up to 1.15m wide and up to .95m high. To the NE of this structure is an enclosure (DG101-001007-) formed by a soil-covered stone wall and seeming to represent the NW quadrant of a circle. The diameter of this feature was greater than 18m. There are several other earthen banks and heaps of rubble, seeming to indicate old field boundaries. There is also an indication of an old quay (DG101-001008-) or landing place at the NE end of the island.
The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal. A description of the field antiquities of the County from the Mesolithic Period to the 17th century.' Compiled by: Brian Lacey with Eamon Cody, Claire Cotter, Judy Cuppage, Noel Dunne, Vincent Hurley, Celie O'Rahilly, Paul Walsh and Seán Ó Nualláin (Lifford: Donegal County Council, 1983). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated.

"The rowers wished to return in a direct line to terra firma; but I insisted that they should take me to an island, about a quarter of a mile out of our course. They expressed an unwillingness to do so, which surprised me a good deal; but as they assigned no reason for it, my orders were peremptory, and obeyed. While they rowed, they continued speaking to each other in Irish, with extreme earnestness, and an appearance of alarm, I could not account for. I knew that the lake was by no means of dangerous navigation - that I had besides an excellent boat, and two stout fellows to manage her - that we were but a few hundred yards from the land, and that the little wind which blew, was favourable to our return."

"Through such scenes I passed, until I at length reached the goal of my long-nourished desire. Many boats, which had conveyed many voyagers to the 'Saint-ridden Isle' (asking favour of the 'First gem of the sea,') were still moored along the beach. In one of these I took my seat, and was quickly transported to this 'elysium on earth' - Purgatory."
