Ballyclogh[2] or Ballyclough (Irish: Baile Cloch, meaning 'town of the stones')[2] is a small village 8 km (5 mi) outside Mallow, County Cork, Ireland.
The name Ballyclogh has its origins in the past abundance of stone quarries in the area.
The village has a tower house, built by the Barry family (or Mac Robert-Barry).
[5] The village today has a public house, a local grocer, a community centre, a playground, a funeral chapel and a Catholic church.
[6] The Rev Samuel Hayman (1818–1886) noted that when first mentioned in 1291 it was called "Labane" – meaning the "fair district", and acquired the name Ballyclogh when the local castle was built by the Barry family in 1591.
