It's called a "Missionary Settlement" on the 25" OSI Map (and the 6".)

History Ireland has a fairly long article on the Colony, including its founding, the attitude of the Catholic Church toward it, and its final demise. One interesting note during the Famine:
"ut Nangle initially distributed aid to the starving of Achill in accordance with strict principles. The aim of the mission was to convert the inhabitants to the Protestant faith, so pressure was put on the recipients of food aid and work to convert. This earned Nangle the derogatory labels of ‘souper’ and ‘Black Protestant’, but the truth was more complex. As the situation grew more desperate, and the island became totally reliant on the colony for relief, Nangle abandoned the principle of food for conversion, and distributed aid freely. However, he stipulated that the able-bodied must work for relief, and that only one member of each family could work at the colony." -

What a great photo. Looks like a very dangerous beach to be launching and landing currachs. Incredibly skillful oarsmen (and some women) in those days. Many thanks.

Looks a bit staged. Sitting into a currach while it is on rocks is and was a thing to be avoided, for obvious reasons.
