Inishmaine Abbey is a former Augustinian monastery and National Monument located in County Mayo, Ireland.[1]
Inishmaine Abbey is located on the eastern shores of Lough Mask, southwest of Ballinrobe. It once stood on an island, but canal construction lowered the water level and it is now on a peninsula.[2][3]
