Station 5 (English)— Due north in the townland of Biofán, Séipéal Cholm Cille stands 20 meters from Station 4. The chapel houses Leabaidh Cholm Cille Inside; to its south lies three cairns with cross pillars at each end. Evening prayers are said outside the chapel door. Pilgrims circle each of the cairns while reciting Our Father, five Hail Marys and the Gloria. The same prayers are spoken while walking around the chapel before entering. On the right is Leabaidh Cholm Cille; the pilgrim prostrates himself on the bed and turns three times. Two stones sit on a ledge above the bed, one is placed around the head three times and the other is used to touch the eyes. Clay can be taken from underneath.
