Inishgort

Inishgort is a small island located in County Mayo, Ireland, in Clew Bay. It is one of the many drumlin islands characteristic of the bay. Historically, Inishgort is known for its association with the Augustinian Order. A monastery was founded on the island in the 13th century by the Augustinians. It remained an active religious site until its suppression during the Reformation in the 16th century. The ruins of the monastery can still be seen on the island today, including remnants of the church and other monastic buildings. Inishgort is accessible by boat, and its monastic ruins make it a point of interest for those exploring the history and landscape of Clew Bay. The island contributes to the overall scenic beauty of the bay.
