Inishturk (Inis Toirc in Irish,[3] meaning Wild Boar Island) is a small island and a townland[1] of County Galway, in Ireland. The island is also referred as Inishturk South [4] (Irish: Inis Toirc Theas) in order to tell it apart from the Inishturk island located in County Mayo.
Inisturk lies off the Irish coast not faraway from Clifden and Cleggan. It is located between Turbot (or Inishturbot, South) and Omey Island (North). On the hill topping the island stands a radio-TV mast. The easiest place to land on Inishturk is the SE part of the island.[5]
