As we climb these stone steps, we are led along
a narrow path, hidden from beneath by a canopy of dense, green
foliage. Following the path through heather and bracken, we enter
into what must be one of Donegal's most secret places...
In days of old, it was to this quiet sanctuary that people from
miles around came in their droves, to hear Mass and worshop at the
Altar, sheltered beneath this craggy rock.

Is beag an rud

The smallest of things outlives the human
being

This simple reminder of the transience of life serves to reminds
us that we leave behind us things that will not only outlive us,
but will outlive generations to come. Many of the small relics placed
on and around the altar stone will undoubtedly outlive those who
left them there...as will the altar itself.
