Home To A Monastery: Scattery was home to a monastery founded by St Senan in the early 6th century followed by many invasion of the Danes and Vikings. Saint Senan, probably chose Scattery Island to found his monastery because of its remote location. Early Irish monks tried to live like hermits, believing, like the Old Testament prophets, that being further from civilization brought them closer to God.
Teampall Na Marabh – “The Church Of The Dead”: Is the most modern Church building on Scattery and probably dates from the late 14th or early 15th Centuries. Inside the Church, there is a medieval carving of a man’s face to the right of the east window. It was common in medieval monasteries to have two burial grounds – one for ordinary lay people and the other reserved exclusively for the clergy. It is thought that the graveyard on the other side of the island near “Saint Senan’s Bed” was for the monastic community and that this graveyard closer to the pier was designated for the island community. This would explain why the graveyard at Teampall Na Marabh was the traditional burial place for the inhabitants of the island and is still in use today.
