Teampall Chiaráin on Inishmore, the largest of the Aran Islands, west off the coast of Galway, Ireland.
The church was dedicated to St. Ciaran, who lived in the 6th century CE, spent seven years on Aran as a student of St. Enda and later founded the Clonmacnoise monastery.
The east windows suggest a 12th-century dating of the building. The north doorway (visible in the picture) is a late medieval insertion.
