Location
Inchagoill is an island of Шаблон:Convert located in the northwest part of Lough Corrib. It lies halfway between Oughterard and Cong. Burr Island (Шаблон:Convert) lies immediately to the north.[2][3]
Ruins and monuments
St. Patrick's Church
Also called Templepatrick (Teampall Phádraig), its construction was traditionally attributed to Saint Patrick and his nephew Lugnad, who is credited with bringing him to Ireland by boat; it is more likely to date to the 6th or 7th century AD.[4]
Lugnad's stone
This stone, of Silurian grit and shaped like a rudder, bears the inscription Lia Lugnaedon Macc Limenueh ("Stone of Lugnad son of Limenueh", the latter being Patrick's sister Liamain; there are many variant readings). It is the oldest inscription in Ireland in the Latin alphabet (all earlier inscriptions are in Ogham).[5][6] The pillar is known as 'Lugnaedon Pillar', a piece of Silurian grit stone, about two feet high with an incised cross on the north side, and two such crosses on each of the other sides. The stone bears an inscription "Lie Lugnaedon Macc Li Menueh", translated, it means "The stone of Lugnaedon, son of Limenueh", the sister of St. Patrick. The pillar dates back to the 6th century. This pillar is the remains of an Ogham stone, and was sanctified with crosses after it was purged of its pagan inscription, by the founder of the church.
Templenaneeve
In Irish Teampall na Naoimh, "church of the saints."
A flagged path of Шаблон:Convert in length connects the two churches. Templenaneeve is Hiberno-Romanesque church with a 12th-century decorated arched doorway; its sculpted heads are similar to those at Annaghdown Abbey.[7] The incised slab is 8th century, and there are three bullauns as well. The chancel is semi-circular and undecorated.[8][9][10]
Graveyard
The graveyard is also ancient; buried there is Muirgheas O'Nioc (Muirgius ua Nioc; died 1128), coarb of Tuam.[11] (He is often incorrectly described as Archbishop of Tuam, but that title didn't exist until 1152.)[12] Other important families in the region also used the graveyard: Kinnaveys, Conways, Sullivans, Murphys, Lyddans, Butlers.
Other sites
A holy well (Tobernaneeve), two cross-inscribed pillars and five cross slabs.[13]
Today
An annual Mass is celebrated on the island, and local cruise companies offer tourist expeditions to the island.[14][15]
Coillte have extensively afforested the island.[16]
