Ballyclough House, also known as Ballyclogh House, is an Irish country house built in the 17th century by members of the Anglo-Irish ascendency. It was the principal house of the Ballyclough Estate. The name Ballyclough is derived from the Irish, Baile Cloiche, which translates as town/townland of stone/stone building.[1] There are a number of townlands and villages in Ireland of the same or similar name. While the form 'Ballyclogh' is used on Ordnance Survey maps, the form 'Ballyclough' was commonly used.[2][3] Little remains of the original house.
