Questions about Boyle Abbey
Is Boyle Abbey on the National Inventory?
It is a national monument on the Sites and Monuments Record (RO006-068005-), cared for by the State.
Can you visit Boyle Abbey?
It can be seen from the street; whether you can go inside depends on its owner.
Is Boyle Abbey protected?
Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
