Ballyboughal or Ballyboghil (Irish: Baile Bachaille)[1] is a village and district in central Fingal in 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 Cathedral, Dublin.

[4] In addition to the Church of the Assumption, erected in 1836, and which is a chapel of ease for the parish of Naul[5] the medieval church still stands in ruins in the Old Ballyboughal Burial Ground north of the centre of the settlement.

[6] 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.

[7] The Ballyboghil or Ballyboughal River flows eastward through the centre of the settlement.
