Inishmacsaint Monastery, Early Christian monastery ruins on Inishmacsaint Island, County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland.
Stone structures and ancient cross elements from the tenth and twelfth centuries stand on an island within Lough Erne's western shores.
The monastery, established by Saint Ninnidh between 523 and 530 AD, became a center of religious activity during the early Christian period.
The monastic site contains architectural elements that demonstrate the evolution of religious practices in medieval Northern Ireland.
Visitors can reach the monastery ruins by following signs from the A46 Lough Shore Drive to access the designated viewing area.
The location includes remnants of monastic cells where Abbott Fiannamail, recorded in 718 AD, led the religious community.
