History


Evidence of ancient settlement in the area includes a number of ringforts (in the townlands of Carrick and Kilgellia) and several crannóg sites at nearby Ballymore Lough.[2]

The Roman Catholic church in the village was built in 1958 on the site of an earlier 19th century chapel.[3]

The Fr Patrick Peyton Memorial Centre, which was officially opened in 1998,[4] commemorates the village's association with Fr Patrick Peyton.[5] Peyton, also known as the "Rosary Priest", was the founder of the Family Rosary Crusade and was born in the area in 1909.[6]


Sport


Moy Villa Football Club, established in 1992, is based in Kilgellia, Attymass and plays in the Mayo League.[citation needed] In September 2012, Moy Villa achieved promotion to Premier A of the Mayo League.[citation needed] In late 2013, Moy Villa reached the Elvery's Sports Super League for the first time in the club's history.[citation needed] In 2006, the club built an Astro turf facility with floodlights, with funding being sourced locally and via the Sports Capital Development Fund.[7]
