What is recorded here

Inis Aillte is an uninhabited islet in County Galway where the last recorded resident left before 1996, abandoning a farmhouse and cottage to the Atlantic. The population swelled to thirteen in 1946, then bled away until the ruins stood empty, suggesting a community that tried, failed, and vanished rather than a place never touched.
Inis Aillte is recorded as a islet in County Galway. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.
