Industrial site, High Island, Co. Galway

High Island, known in Irish as Ardoileán, sits several kilometres off the Connemara coast, a place most often associated with the severe early Christian monastery that clings to its western rocks.

That a separate industrial site is also recorded there is the kind of quietly anomalous detail that tends to get swallowed by the more dramatic monastic story. Industry and sanctity do not always make obvious neighbours, and yet the island's designation carries both.
