Anonymous writes: There is a strange circular mound abou 200 meters behind a house at Ballyskeagh High. From memory
it is possibly just inside what was or may still be the Dufferin Estate. At one time you could have
walked through the trees all the way to Helen's
Bay. People used to say that Barrels of Tar were
burnt there to signify the end of some battle. I think
it is much older than that

Bally is an anglicisation of the gaelic word Baile, meaning town or settlement. Thats why its so common.
