Шаблон:Infobox settlement Ballyboughal (Шаблон:Irish place name), also sometimes Ballyboghil, is a village and district in central Fingal within the traditional County Dublin, near the Naul. The name means the town of the staff, and a major relic, the Bachal Isu, was protected in this area until Strongbow moved it to Christ Church, Dublin.[1] It is 4.4 km from Oldtown.[2]
There was a monastery in Ballyboughal sometime before the arrival of the Anglo-Normans.[3]
In addition to the Church of the Assumption, erected in 1836, and which is a chapel of ease for the parish of Naul[4] the medieval church still stands in ruins in the Old Ballyboughal Burial Ground north of the centre of the settlement. It is the place where the Bachal Isu was kept.[5] All the walls stand without the roof, and the building, which has some grave markers on the inside, is divided into a nave and chancel with doors on the north and south sides. The west gable has a triple bell cote, and the east gable has an arched window (without glass) dating from the fourteenth century.[6]
The Ballyboghil or Ballyboughal River flows eastward through the centre of the settlement. It has its source at Tobergregan, south of Garristown, and its mouth at the Rogerstown Estuary.[7]
There is a private family-run airfield, Ballyboughal Airfield,[8] ICAO code EIBB, near the village.[9]
There is a Gaelic Football Club, Ballyboughal GFC, which was founded in 1935 as Ballyboughal Rangers, but the name was changed to the current one when they merged with Fingal Ravens in 1940–41.[10] Hollywood Lakes Golf Club is situated close the village.[11]
