Bio

Moybologue Historical Society was founded in March 2012 and is a voluntary community group concerned with preserving and promoting the history and heritage of the Moybologue complex and surrounding areas. The Moybologue complex lies along the Cavan-Meath border, in the present Roman Catholic parish of Kilmainhamwood and Moybologue, approx. 7 miles south of Bailieboro, Co. Cavan and 20 miles NW of Kells, Co. Meath. The complex comprises an ancient enclosed graveyard, containing the ruins of a late medieval church and later transept or priest's residence. A late 12th century Anglo-Norman Motte and Bailey lies in the adjoining field. The history and folklore of the site has been well documented by Phillip O'Connell (Breifny Antiq. Hist. Soc. J, 1924, & Diocese of Kilmore, 1937) and the archaeological features by Oliver Davies (JRSAI, Dec 1948). The principal extant features of the site and surrounding areas are also listed in the Archaeological Inventory of Co. Cavan
