Kilmacduagh is a remote monastic site in County Galway, founded over 1,400 years ago. Hidden among its ruined chapels and weathered stone lies something rarely seen — a lead coffin still resting inside an ancient sacred space.
In this episode of Grave Visitations, I explore the abbey ruins of Kilmacduagh before entering one of its oldest chapels, where a heavy lead coffin remains abandoned, surrounded by decay, silence, and centuries of history. Sites like this offer a rare glimpse into historic burial practices and the realities of death in medieval Ireland.
