Ruins of a small stone church/chapel

L4510, Kilmacduagh,Tawnagh East, Co. Galway view map

The photo shows the remains of a small stone church/chapel, likely one of the so-called “seven churches” that stood on the grounds of Kilmacduagh Monastery. In this case.
These small churches had various roles within the monastery complex:
*prayer space for monks or lay people
*part of a larger religious ensemble (cathedral + smaller churches)
*sometimes associated with a specific saint or family.
