Balbriggan is associated with its industrial past or its picturesque harbor. However results from recent archaeological excavations have shown the ‘town of the small hills’ to be part of a considerably more ancient landscape.

Heritage by Area - Balrothery 

Rospark soutterain

With its roots in the prehistoric landscape, Balrothery has always been a focal point for settlement. Tradition has it that Balrothery or as it was also known Balruddery and Baliorodery derived its name from Baile na Ridre or ‘Town of the Knight’. However it has been recently been argued that the name is more likely to have originated from a person-Rytherid a son of the 12th century landowners.
