Niley always gets it

I'd say a very substantial clue will be required. I had a look for holy wells/shrines in the western seaboard counties, but nothing's popping out.

jimbobaloobob

My clue will prob give it away.

You’re on the right track niley

Clue
Gap would be a place closely linked with it.

Purple Mountain

It's Barna, Co Galway.
I just googled war memorials in the west and it came up. I knew by the look of it was a commemorative site.
The clue doesn't mean anything to me.

Yay, I beat Niley

Where I live there are quite a few war memorial headstones from the War of Independence so I figured it was war related.

Happy Monday peeps.

jimbobaloobob

But then I'd have to post one myself...maybe I'd have the time for that in a few days, but for now the nice feeling of closing dozens of tabs of images of church ruins will keep me content.

You're tough

Three More Big Sleeps

Sure, isn't it Ardmore Church in the county of the blaa? That gable wall has some very distinctive stonework that I remembered from the last time we were searching for derelict churches.

Oh, and a "big round yoke"

Purps, go on again if you've the time

Purple Mountain

Spot on.

I thought I was being sneaky omitting the tower

No, one of you two go ahead when you get time.
Fair is fair.

Be right back

Thought I knew that place alright. Oh well.
