A place-name found at Peel at least as early as 1703 is evidently 'Boayly Spittal' i.e. 'place of the hospital' but there is no record of a hospital, medieval or otherwise, at this site. The name has been identified with the area of land on the east side of the Patrick road at least as far as St German's Place.


The grid reference provided is for indicative purposes only and is approximately centred on the landholding.
