| Overview |
Lying 11.6 km off the coast of mainland Ireland, the island of
Sceilg Mhichíl in its entirety, surrounded by steep sides, has been
registered as World Heritage site. A Christian monastery was
founded on the island becoming a place of worship, but after the
close of the monastery, the island was uninhabited becoming a
place of pilgrimage. Owing to the extreme remoteness, the site of
the monastery at its early stage is well preserved. |
