Ballycreen - was pronounced 'Ballagh-reen' or 'Ballachreen'... This seems to suggest 'cr' followed by broad vowel. Old forms of the name are 'Balliecreerie... Ballicreiry...Balicreer... it is spelled 'Balecreenery' on the Down Survey barony maps: perhaps this is a misspelling of 'Ballycreevery', and the modern form 'Ballycreen' may be a corruption: originally 'Baile craobhaire' or 'Baile a(n) chraobhaire'? meaning 'a place covered in bushes' (Joyce, i. 501). But perhaps Hamilton's 'Baile crionaigh' is better. (102-3)
