Moybologue Church and Graveyard Audio Guide

Discover the story of this ancient graveyard, a place of significance for centuries

Moybologue Church and Graveyard is nestled on a hillside in east County Cavan. This is an ancient place, overlooking a truly historic landscape. Within its peaceful walls are the ruins of an old church, many memorials and other interesting features that hide an interesting tale.

The circular enclosure of Moybologue Church and Graveyard holds within it the ruins of a medieval stone church and many gravestones and memorials ranging in date from about the 8th century AD to today. However, the earliest stories link the location to the mythical Fir Bolg, after whom it got its name, and who fought a battle here against the Milesians in the 1st century AD. It is also associated with Saint Patrick who is believed to have founded the church in the 5th century and, as the legend goes, encountered a dangerous opponent here in the form of a man-eating pig!

Over the centuries this peaceful, rural graveyard has been a place of hospitality for the sick and the poor, a gathering place for clerics, a renowned place of Classical learning, as well as the resting place of bishops, famine victims, Freemasons, scholars and more. Today it is valued by the local community as a repository of both their historical and natural heritage.
