What is recorded here
Inis Mór, County Galway: a possible medieval church stood at the north end of Cill Rónáin, aligned east to west. By 1899 the site had vanished from the second edition of the Ordnance Survey map, leaving behind only a vegetable garden. Whatever worshipped there did so quietly, and the island kept the quiet by growing tomatoes where the altar may have stood.
At N end of Cill Rónáin, Inis Mór. The site of a possible medieval church, aligned E-W on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map. Apparently removed by time of 2nd ed. (1899). Now occupied by a vegetable garden.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'. Compiled by Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993).
