Ballyseedy (Irish: Bailte Ó Síoda, meaning 'town of Sheedy')[2] is a townland in County Kerry, Ireland.
[3] The townland contains a number of notable landmarks, including Ballyseedy Wood, a bridge over the Ballycarty River and a ruined Protestant church.
A section of the River Lee, from which Tralee takes its name,[4] forms the northern edge of the townland.
Ballyseedy Wood is an ancient woodland dating at least to the 16th century, when it was mapped by Sir Edward Denny.
[6] The townland was the scene of an atrocity in the Irish Civil War in which eight anti-Treaty IRA prisoners were killed by their captors, members of the Free State forces.
