Killursa

The roofless, ruined church and large burial ground are located approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km) west of Headford, north of Galway city, in Ireland. The building is rectangular in layout, measuring 22.5 m (74 ft) in length and 7 m (23 ft) in width. Designed in the Romanesque style, it contains some interesting architectural details including a mullioned Late Gothic window and trabeate doorway. There is a stone altar on the east end.

The graveyard contains a combination of old and modern gravestones. Some of the more interesting graves include carved Celtic crosses and symbols and inscriptions in Irish and Latin. Many of the surviving gravestones date from the 18th century. There is a statue of St. Fursa near the entrance to the graveyard.

A monastery is believed to have been founded in the 7th century on this site or nearby, on the shore of Lough Corrib by Saint Fursa. Saint Fursa was legendary in medieval literature for his visions of angels and the afterlife. The church dates from the 12th or 13th century. It was formally known as "Furnee". The church was probably used until the 18th century when it was abandoned and fell into ruin.
