Ballyhahill ( Irish: Baile Dhá Thuile or Baile Uí Sháithil) [2] is a village and townland in County Limerick, Ireland. As of the 2016 census, the village had a population of 146 people. [1] It is 40 km west of Limerick city. The White River flows to the east of the village. [3] [4]
According to the Placenames Database of Ireland, two Irish language derivations of the village name are proposed: Baile Dhá Thuile ("town of two floods") or Baile Uí Sháithil ("town of Ó Sáithil"). [2] The former (Baile Dhá Thuile) has official recognition and appears on road signage around Ballyhahill.
Evidence of ancient settlement in the area includes a number of ringfort sites in the townland of Ballyhahill and the neighbouring townlands of Mohernagh and Finnoo.
