Inishkeel ({{Irish place name|Inis Caoil}})[2] is a small island and a townland[1] off the coast of County Donegal, Ireland. The closest village on the mainland is Narin.

Geography

The island is located in Gweebarra Bay around 250 m from the coast. A sandy tidal bank connects, with low tide, the island with the mainland.[2]

History

During the 6th century A.D. a small community of monks settled on the island. Their religious leader was Saint Conall Cael, from whom the island later derived its name. During the following centuries Inishkeel was a traditional destination of pilgrimages. Remains of the church and the connected buildings as well as some carved stones can be seen on the island.[3] For its artistical and archeological importance the island was declared National Monument (code: DG064-003).[4] A bell known as St Conall Cael's Bell remained on Inishkeel up to the 19th century and was then acquired by the British Museum.[5]

Demography

A small community used to live on Inishkeel in the past, and in year 1841 23 inhabitants were registered on the island.[6]

The island was later abandoned and in 2011 census had no inhabitants.[7]
