Skellig Michael or Sceilg
Mhichíl, a remote island off Ireland's
south-west coast, is home to a monastic complex reputedly founded by St Fionan
in the 7th century, and which has been a UNESCO designated world heritage site
since 1996.
While the site is remarkedly well-preserved due to its
inaccessibility, Irish public broadcaster RTE reported on September 26, 2015 that a stonemason was brought
in to repair damage to the complex following three days of shooting by Disney
LucasFilm of Star Wars Episode VII. Areas damaged include the entrance to the monastery, along with several steps.
