What is recorded here

Ronan (1928, 150) noted that 'Kilboy or Cill-buidhe (yellow church) (WI031-021002-) stood on an ancient rath, 28 yds. in diameter. When Colonel Acton was levelling it he came across such a quantity of bones that he desisted in his operations. Kilboy was probably the church of Balimacapeil.' Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 12 July 2013 This monument is subject to a preservation order made under the National Monuments Acts 1930 to 2014 (PO no. 127/1940).
