The National Monuments Service's description
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.'
