What is recorded here

Inis Ní is a small island in Bertraghboy Bay, County Galway, holding the remains of a chapel and well dedicated to Mathias, the probable founder of its Christian settlement. The chapel sits inside a rectangular graveyard, with an altar to the north-east containing an upright cross-inscribed slab. Whatever Mathias believed or endured there, the stones still mark the shape of his choice: a quiet island, a made chapel, and a life given over to one small place.
