Island

What is recorded here

Inishloe, the Low Island in the River Fergus, lost its final resident in 1976 after centuries of sustained human life. The population fell from 114 people in 1841 to just three in 1971, suggesting a gradual withdrawal rather than a sudden abandonment. The island now stands empty, preserving the shape of a community that once thrived within the river's boundaries.
Inishloe is recorded as a island in County Clare. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.
Inishloe is a small island located off the coast of County Clare, Ireland, and is known for its historical connection to early Christian monastic settlements. It is notable for Inishloe Abbey, a 12th-century Cistercian monastery founded by monks from Boyle, which played a role in the spread of Cistercian influence in western Ireland.
