Belleek or Beul – leice, is the Ford Mouth of the Flagstone “ The place was so called” says O’Donovan, “from the flat surfaced rock in the ford, which, when the water decreases in the summer, is as level as a marble floor.” The Four Masters conclude their chronicle of a defeat sustained by O’Rourke at the hands O’Donnell in 1200 by the statement that “the place where that battle was fought was O’ Muldory’s Flagstone” which O’Donovan identifies with Belleek. - You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
