Inchmore is an island and townland located in Lough Ree in County Westmeath, Ireland.[1] It is in the civil parish of Bunown.[2]
The island, which consists of 132 acres, is the largest in Lough Ree. A ring fort is located at the south end.
The island is now uninhabited, however a ruined monastery attributed to St. Lioban (or Liberius), the son of Lossenus shows evidence of previous habitation. [3]
The island is split between two townlands, with the eastern side being Inchmore (Tiernan).[4]
