What is recorded here

On a slight rise immediately to S of Port Mhuirbhigh, Inis Mór. No visible trace survives of 'the indistinct foundations of a church' noted by OS Letters and shown on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a rectangular building aligned roughly N-S. Its designation on the maps as 'Aharla' also suggests the former presence of a cemetery: the site is known locally as Cill Mhuirbhigh (Robinson 1980). O'Flanagan 1927a, Vol. 3, 396; Westropp 1895, 260) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'. Compiled by Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993). Date of upload: 05 August 2010

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
