Illaunmore

Islet

What is recorded here

Illaunmore, whose Irish name means big island, is a small Clare islet where a carved cross-slab once stood before men moved it elsewhere. That missing stone is the interesting part: a rough island, a careful carve, and a later decision to carry the symbol into new hands. Remoteness may have suited a hermitage, but the carried cross suggests the place gave something worth keeping.
