Catholic Church, Ballinderreen, Co. Galway

The Catholic church at Ballinderreen sits in a quiet corner of south County Galway, near the shoreline of Kinvara Bay, in a parish whose name derives from the Irish Baile an Doirín, meaning roughly the townland of the small oak grove.

That the building has been formally recorded as a monument of archaeological interest places it in a category that goes beyond ordinary ecclesiastical heritage, suggesting layers of history attached to the site that extend well before the current structure.
