Inishmagrath

Islet

What is recorded here

Inishmagrath is a three-hectare islet in Lough Allen where a rectangular stone church and unnamed graveyard still mark the parish identity recorded by Lewis in 1837. Coffins crossed from Dead Man's Point, a distance of about three hundred metres, turning each burial into a deliberate journey across open water. The north wall has fallen into a rubble cairn and no grave-marker remains visible, yet the island kept its name as the Parish of the Island because people returned there to set the dead beyond the reach of ordinary land.
Inishmagrath is recorded as a islet in County Leitrim. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.
Inishmagrath is a small islet located in Lough Cullin, County Leitrim, Ireland. It is notable for its historical association with early Christian monastic sites and is mentioned in medieval Irish annals as the location of a hermitage.
