Spooyt Vane Keeill

Keeill site near the Spooyt Vane waterfall in Glen Mooar — a spectacular setting where early Christians built a chapel beside a dramatic waterfall. The combination of water and sacred site suggests possible pre-Christian ritual use of the location. WHY DETECT HERE: Waterfall sites were considered sacred in Celtic tradition — the transition from pagan to Christian use means this spot may have been significant for 2,000+ years. The flat ground near the keeill was the gathering area. The glen setting has preserved the site from agricultural disturbance.
