Ballindine (Irish: Baile an Daighin, meaning 'town of the fortress')[2] is a village in County Mayo, Ireland.
Folklore states that Ballindine got its name from this fort—Baile an Daingin meaning "Town of the Fortress" and that the souterrain, just outside it, was connected underground to the ruins of the old church in Cloonmore about 2 km (1.25 miles) to the east and also to the ruins of the old church in Garryduff, 5 km (3 miles) west.
Church records are held at the South Mayo Family Research Centre in Ballinrobe.
[5] The Ballindine Gaelic footballers join with Irishtown to form the Davitts team who play in red and black.
[citation needed] In 2011 Davitts won the Intermediate County Championship after beating Burrishoole in the final.
