What is recorded here

Ecclesiastical site in Kilboy (Graystown parish) is an ecclesiastical site in Kilboy (Graystown parish), County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies grassland on an east-facing slope above a small eastern stream, while rising ground fills the west. Local tradition claims an abbey wall stood near the holy well, though no structure is visible at ground level today. A surviving fragment of a 16th-century altar tomb may have come from this lost ecclesiastical place.
