Moiltín an Oileáin is a small islet in County Galway, Ireland. The name an Oileáin means the islet, and Moiltín may point to a dip, hollow or low place near the water. The sea would have touched it at high tide and exposed it at low tide, changing its shape every day. Anyone who walked there at sunset would have seen the boundary between land and water move around a tiny stone place.
