Features
Maum Éan is a place of pilgrimage; the pilgrimage may have evolved from pre- Christian times in honour of the God, Lugh, who was honoured at Lughnasa. It is said that St. Patrick stood here and blessed Connemara. There is a small church, a holy well and a statue of Patrick to remind one of the significance of this place in Irish Christianity.
