Stoneybatter, historically known as Bohernaglogh (Irish: Bóthar na gCloch), 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.
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.
