Church (ruin)
Inchbofin is an island in Lough Ree, on which two churches remain: one is a simple nave and chancel building of about 1200, lacking Romanesque decoration; the other is a more substantial 12thc church, which has been remodelled on various occasions: the original church was aisleless and measured (internally) 13.64m by 5.50 m; a transept was added to the N in the 15thc and a vaulted sacristy was inserted between this and the nave. The only Romanesque ornament is to be found in the chancel window.
