What is recorded here

Leacht in Oileán Máisean stands as a much-collapsed granite ridge beside an early Christian church in County Galway. Its exact limits have surrendered to time, yet a sharply leaning pillar stone still marks its northern half. The ruin suggests a rectangular chamber, perhaps a furnace or shrine, where heat and prayer once tangled before the stones forgot their shape.

Associated with an early Christian church (GA076-011001-), which lies c. 20m to the SSE. This much-collapsed leacht (c. 3m N-S; 2.5m E-W) was probably originally rectangular in plan and most likely was similar to another leacht (GA076-011005-), c. 15m to the SE, which is visible within the enclosure (GA076-011003-) around the church. It is difficult to determine its exact limits due to its collapsed state. It is composed of granite boulders and one limestone slab was visible. A pillar stone (GA076-011008-), leaning sharply to the E, is evident its N half. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 29 April 2014
