Kircubbin (Irish: Cill Ghobáin, possibly derived from Scots Kirk and Irish Gobáin meaning "church of Gobáin") is a village and townland in County Down, Northern Ireland. It is on the shores of Strangford Lough, between Newtownards and Portaferry, in the Borough of Ards. The village harbour contains leisure craft, yachts, and a sailing club. The main street was redone in 2008 with some old houses knocked down and rebuilt as new buildings.It had a population of 1,153 people in the 2011 Census.
Kircubbin (then known as Cubinhillis) and nearby Inishargy are mentioned in early medieval records. This possible translation of the Irish name is the only evidence that connects the Irish Saint Goban to the village. John de Courcy, a Norman knight who invaded Ulster, brought Benedictines from Stoke Courcy in Somerset and Lonlay in France, for whom he founded Black Abbey (St Andrews in Ards), near Inishargy in the 1180s.
The Rev. William Warwick, a Presbyterian minister in Kircubbin, was hanged in 1798 near his church, for the writing of seditious documents in support of the Irish Rebellion of 1798.

This is a private residence built into the gable walls of a medieval Building. It is described as a ruined manor house occupied by Bishop Echlin during the earlier part of the 17th century. Recent work on the site suggests that this is in fact of late medieval in date, maybe functioning as a manor retreat for the Bishops of Down prior to Bishop Echlin’s arrival.
