What is recorded here

Killursa is a ruined Romanesque church in County Galway, built in the 12th century and abandoned around the 18th century. Its roofless walls still stand beside a burial ground where old and modern graves mix, and a statue of Saint Fursa watches the entrance. The name comes from Cill Fhursa, the church of Fursa, and local tradition holds that the saint founded a monastery nearby in the 7th century.
