Kilfarboy (Irish: Cill Fear Buí), also called Miltown Malbay (Kilfarboy), is a civil parish on the Atlantic coast of County Clare in Ireland.[1] The largest population centre in the parish is Milltown Malbay. It is also an ecclesiastical parish in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Killaloe. .

Civil parish

The parish is part of the historic barony of Ibrickane. It is 5 by 4.5 miles (8.0 by 7.2 km) and covers 13,981 acres (5,658 ha). Cliffs extend along the coastline, which includes the headland of Spanish Point. The land rises in the east to the summit of Slievecallan. The main settlement is the town of Milltown Malbay.[2]

History

On the south side of Slievecallan there is a large cromlech, or druidical altar, in very good condition. It is thought that it was dedicated to the sun, and is called Darby and Grane’s Bed by the local people. There are two smaller cromlechs nearby, and the remains of a stone rath, or fort, of which part of a covered way is still visible.[3]

The parish was once called Kilfobrick after a monastery with that name founded in 741. Cormac, who died in 837, is said to have been bishop. No traces are left of the monastery.[3] A large sepulchral stone was found around 1784 at Loughnamina, on Mount Callan. It has an inscription in Ogham script, which was well-preserved when the stone was discovered, commemorating the death of the chief Conan.[3]

Part of the Spanish Armada was wrecked on the coast on the place since called "Spanish Point." There is the ruin of a castle at Freagh and several ancient forts.[3] The parish contains the ruins of Moy castle. The population in 1841 was 7,498 in 1,166 houses.[2]
