About
Innisfallen ( IN-iss-FAL-ən) or Inishfallen (from Irish: Inis Faithlinn [ˈɪnʲəʃ ˈfˠah(ə)lʲən̠ʲ], meaning 'Faithlinn's island') is an island in Lough Leane in County Kerry, Ireland.
Innisfallen is home to the ruins of Inisfallen Abbey, which was founded in the 7th century.
The island is best known where the Annals of Innisfallen were compiled, a medieval chronicle recording Irish history from late antiquity through the Middle Ages. The surviving ruins consist mainly of stone structures dating from the 10th to 12th centuries.
