What is recorded here
Caher Island is a twelve-acre stone chamber in the Atlantic where seventh-century monks built hermitages and people still row across dangerous water to touch the sacred site. Gráinne Mhaol is said to have killed her lover's murderers upon that same rock, turning a place of prayer into a ledger of blood. The sea does not distinguish between devotion and vengeance; it only keeps both alive in salt and distance.
Caher Island is recorded as a island in County Mayo. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.
