What is recorded here

Inish Coimheta, a tiny isle in Ely Island, County Fermanagh, may have been the hidden home of Vita Comgalli, a life written in faith rather than stone. The church has no visible ruins, only a name preserved in old records and a map point floating above water. Perhaps worship there depended on memory, tide and courage, with the isle itself as altar and the lake as witness.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CHURCH SITE (unlocated): INISH COIMHETA or CUSTODARIA INSULA OF VITA COMGALLI. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
