My old and cunning friend, so far passed beyond the bounds of his caution as to assign a substantial reason for this change of purgatory.—'The old island, Sir, was too near the shore, and in summer time, the people could come from the mainland to it by a little wading; and often, Sir, ungodly people used to bring over to the pilgrims, liquor and other things, that used to spoil their devotions and interrupt their fasts; but now he must be a good swimmer who could get to our present holy place.’—Now I suspect that the real reason of the change was, that pilgrims, as he said, could wade to the old purgatory, and so smuggling themselves through the necessary stations, unperceived by, and without payment to the friars, get a pardon for their sin—thus cheating the Devil and the priest at the same time."

You may be sure that Fin did not forego his activity in this black hole; and therefore he lost no time in ascertaining the topography of the aforesaid hole, when after some groping, he found that it lay about twenty yards below the region of the heart; and to work he fell with his short sword, and in a little space of time he opened an orifice about the size of a coach-house door in the monster's side, who, during the operation, no doubt, felt very alarming symptoms of cholera morbus, moreover, it is not to be supposed that Fin and his fellow prisoners were slow at making their exit from ‘durance vile’; and well it may be said, that such a jail delivery was not since the evacuation of the Trojan horse. And thus Fin not only released many captives, but he spoiled the appetite altogether of the ‘blatant beast’ who lay along bellowing, and its abominable blood streaming from its open side, and rushing like a mountain torrent into the lake, all whose waters were thereby dyed red; and so along the shore it lay, in purgatorial agony, suffering all the pains due to all its former voraciousness, until St. Patrick came ; and he in order to show unto the obstinate Pagans, what power was committed unto a Christian saint, commanded the monster to arise and proceed to its appointed place at the the bottom of the lough, where it lies to this day, living, and at times roaring, but for ever restrained by Patrick's power from coming ashore to perpetrate its former mischief—'Tis true in stormy weather, when the tempest sweeps over the lake, whose vexed billows appear like squadrons of white horsemen, making their battle charge on the eastern shores : then it is that the ancient monster is observed amidst the foam and fury of the elements, riding and bellowing across the lake ; and many an old man can testify that from the top of these hills he has seen the apparition, and has fled in terror, fearful of its coming ashore to resume its former destructiveness."

Text Any textual data included in the document “…[A]s we rowed away from the island, I busied my mind with supposing the various characters of priests and friars that have sat in that window, observing the freights of human folly that were discharged from this little boat before their eyes. I fancied one, a man, who had from his infancy to manhood, year after year, taken up a new trammel of submissiveness to authority under the bearing-down system of Popery, until his intellect was enveloped amidst the cords that tied it up ; and there he sat, deluded and deluding— the slave of a talisman, which, if he had the courage to strike with one vigorous thought, would have shivered into atoms. Another I fancied as one who gloated on the lucre of the craft, and who sat in his window, counting the coming pilgrims—his avaricious heart beating quick with delight, as he measured the boatfuls of people coming over to add to the store of money he was collecting, and which was to him as a God;—and then I conceived another ecclesiastic sitting sadly in that casement ; every deep line in his countenance denoting the inward struggles and discontent that consumed him—sitting there as the abettor of a fraud that his soul revolted at—acting there a part in a drama that at one time forced him unfeignedly to laugh, and at another time to weep; and yet still without courage to break through the guards that custom, associations, and the frown of others drew around him—with the deep compunctions of the guilty—without the courage of a martyr—the Breviary he was forced to read—his abomination—the Bible, which some secret force impelled him to examine, his accuser, and at the same time convincer—thus a child of light walking in darkness, who would not mourn over, yes, and find excuses too for such a man, when in the gaudy vestments that covered his abased body and his suffering soul, he administered those rites he knew were idolatrous ; and took a part in those absurd and monstrous superstitions which he felt were as contrary to the simplicity of the Gospel, and the truth as it is in Jesus, as darkness is to the risen light.” Original Format The type of object, such as painting, sculpture, paper, photo, and additional data Monograph Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Text Any textual data included in the document "According to a statement made at the annual meeting October 21, 1898 of the [Pettigo] District Lodge, it seems that for years previously [to the 1790s] the isolated Protestants of Pettigo suffered from the attacks of the Donegal Ribbonmen, and disorder little short of anarchy prevailed. The turbulence became worse when the United Irishmen's organisation spread over the country. There was no combination among the Protestants of the town, which is partly in Fermanagh and partly in Donegal; but one or other of which parts must be traversed to reach what is known as Patrick's purgatory in one of the Lough Derg islands (*). The introduction or Orangeism, however, met the wants of the Protestants. They sent a deputation to Loughgall; and as a result, two Warrants were issued - numbers 679 and 680 - which were speedily embodied, others following in due course. (*) The ancient name was Lough Finn; but, Saint Patrick happened to be in the locality, he killed a huge snake, which had been devouring the people's crops. The blood of the creature so coloured the water that the name was changed to Lough Derg (the Red Lough). The legend is absurd. Patricius primus was never in the locality; Patricius secundus, a Fermanagh man, founded the station. The penitential exercise was originally performed on the largest island in the lake; but the scene was shifted, in consequence of a melancholy accident on July 12, 1795, involving the loss of 70 lives by drowning while going to the place."

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).

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-).

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.

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.'

Title A name given to the resource Rathnacross Archaeological Survey Subject The topic of the resource Lough Derg--Vicinity--Archaeological survey Description An account of the resource Rathnacross (DG105-002001-), a circular area enclosed by a stone and earthen bank c. 0.5m high. A gap in the NE sector affords the only possible site for an entrance. There is a semicircular hollow (2.5m in diam. and 0.8m deep) in the SE quadrant which may have been a modern lime kiln. Near the centre of the site is an oval pit 2m × 1.25m and 0.6m deep. This may mark the site of the 'standing stone' marked on the first edition of the OS 6-inch map. This stone no longer survives. It is situated on a high ridge commanding an area of marshy pasture land. Local tradition claims that a termon cross stood within the site and gave it its name. This could possibly be identified with the 'standing stone' above. The site is said to have been on the route to the pilgrimage site of Lough Derg.
