Comment. I'm not sure about this one. The
photograph linked to in the article is actually
Devenish Island. I can see no evidence of a Magheracross Monastery. It's not included on the NI listed buildings database. I suspect this may be a mistaken interpretation of the evidence and the original creator thought the photo was of a non-existent Magheracross Monastery whereas it is actually of Devenish. --

I will mention that in said article, a Magheracross church is mentioned to have burned down. While the photo may not be of the church, it does appear to exist. However, just because it exists doesn't mean that it is notable and that an article should be written about it. Utopes(talk / cont)18:04, 11 April 2020 (UTC)reply
Indeed, but I don't think that's what the article is referring to. There don't appear to be any extant ruins of the burned church (which does not appear to have been a monastery in any case). If there were then it would undoubtedly be notable under
WP:GEOFEAT as the ruins would undoubtedly be heritage listed. --

Delete, but for the reason given by
User:Necrothesp - that there is no such place and that the article is based on a good-faith misunderstanding (I couldn't find any reference to it either) - not for the reason given by the nom - that such a monastery would not be notable - which is erroneous.

Cannot Keep - At best Merge to
Magheracross. A monastery in the Early Christian period in Ireland may well have been a rather different kind of institution from those of the high medieval period, perhaps something of a cross between a manor house and a church. The one source is a village history website, providing a timeline without sources. About one sentence in the article (as to the date and foundation of the monastery) supports the content of the WP article, but actually refers to something with a different name. Little objection to plain deletion.
