What is recorded here
Glassillaun is an islet in County Galway where an eighteenth-century Catholic chapel vanished completely, leaving behind only a baptismal font in a field and a mass-rock nearby. The missing walls suggest worship continued through secrecy and adaptation rather than grand architecture. What remains is a quiet map of faith, marked by objects scattered across the shoreline and fields instead of a building that can be pointed at.
