With it's strong Irish language roots and fascinating landscape it is not really any wonder why Inis Oirr (Inisheer) is one of the most historic intriguing, and beautiful of the three Aran Islands. Situated at the base of all three islands it is easily accessible from Ros A Mhil Connemara, Galway City and also from Doolin, Co. Clare. Recently a lot of new information has come to light regarding the happening of the Bronze Age in Inis Oirr. A discovery in 1985 produced a dry stone wall encircling a low mound. It was on closer inspecion that two pottery urns were unearthed, inverted over cremated human bones along with a small bronze pin. This discovery, in tandem with many others such as Teampall Chaomhain, Caislean Ui Bhriain, Dun Fhorma, Cill Ghobnait, Tobar Einne and The Plassey Wreck have truely brought Inish Oirr onto a more recognisable platform and it is not being truely seen for all its beauty and interest. Measuring in at just 3.2km x 3.2km it is the smallest of the island but is nestled in the middle regarding its density with a population of approx. 350 as opposed to Inis Mean's 200. SO the choice is obvious. If you are planning on going on a vacation any time you should absolutely choose Inis Oirr!
