Stoneybatter, historically known as Bohernaglogh (), is a neighbourhood of Dublin, Ireland, situated on the Northside of the city between the River Liffey, the North Circular Road, Smithfield Market, and Grangegorman. It is located in the Dublin 7 postal district. ==History== James Collins' 1913 book, 'Life in Old Dublin', notes that 'Centuries ago (Stoneybatter) was called Bothar-na-gCloch. In Joyce's Irish names of places we find the following interesting information as to the original name of the place: "Long before the city had extended so far, and while Stoneybatter was nothing more than a country road, it was -- as it still continues to be -- the great thoroughfare to Dublin from the districts lying west and north-west of the city; and it was known by the name of ''Bothar-na-gCloch'' (''Bohernaglogh''), i.e., the road of the stones, which was changed to the English equivalent, Stoneybatter or stony road."' The Irish folk song "The Spanish Lady" mentions Stoneybatter in the 5th verse.
