Ballaghnatrillick (Irish: Béal Átha an Trí Liag, meaning 'ford-mouth of the three flagstones'[1]), locally Ballintrillick, is a village in County Sligo, Ireland.
Local attractions include the three stones (from which the village gets its name).[2] It also has a church dedicated to St Brigid. Ballintrillick, as the area is locally known, was once one of the main sources for the mineral barytes in western Europe.[citation needed] It is approximately 20 minutes north from Sligo.[citation needed]
