Skellig Michael Hermitage (Images)
Constructed on ledges high on the South Peak of the island, rock-cut steps lead up to the Hermitage. It comprises a series of
platforms, traverses, enclosures and terraces daringly constructed on quarried ledges just below the peak.
The Oratory Terrace still retains its original features: an oratory, altar, leacht, bench, cisterns and a possible
shrine. Crosses and a cross-slab were also found at this site.
