Íbar is the name of a very obscure early Irish saint, after whom Killibar Beg - noted in the Episcopal Rental of
Clonfert, c. 1351 - in
County Galway is named. The original form would have been
Cill Íbar ('the church of Íbar'). Killibar Beg exits as a placename in the townland of Liscuib,
Ballymacward,
County Galway. Nothing further is known of Íbar, beyond that he would have been active as an
evangelist among the
Soghain of
Connacht during or after the lifetime of
Kerrill.
