Is there a servicing church on the Aran Island of Inis Mor (Ireland) in a place called Killeany or near there?


Basically, if you live in Killeany, where do you go to mass? And... was that particular church there in 1972?

Got these from different websites...

Na Seacht dTeampaill (The Seven Churches) is an ancient monastic site, with two churches and several out buildings.

The Seven Churches, or Na Seacht d'Teampaill, is the most important monastic site of the islands and is situated nearby the village of Eoghanacht. Despite the name there are only 2 churches as the other buildings are simple rooms of the monks.

Of particular interest at Killeany on the southeast end of the island of Inishmore is Tighlagh Eany, an early church. The church has later features as well, and is all that remains of the monastic settlement of St Enda (Eany); there is a very fine cross shaft with interlace ornament and a relief figure of a horseman.


Doesn't sound like it's in Killeany though. This might help a bit more, but equally it could be a completely different Killeany...

and then I found this, but it may no longer be in use...
Temple Benen

It is a small early church or oratory situated on a bare limestone ridge above the village of Killeany on Inishmore, the largest of the three Aran Islands in Galway Bay. It has been named after a 5th century saint, Benen or Benignus but is older than the saint. The architectural features include steeply pitched gables, narrow trabeate doorway with inclined jambs and the exceptional size of the stones in the side walls. The interior is only 7 feet wide.
