The rhyming couplet from the sonnet "Clearances" by Seamus Heaney is "All year the flax-dam festered in the heart/ Of the townland; green and heavy headed".
In Irish Gaelic it means 'a town, village'. It can also mean 'home' in some cases.Bally comes from the Irish word "Baile" meaning town or place. That is why it features in so many Irish placenames. Any time you see Bally at the beginning of a placename it is basically saying that it is "the place of..." and whatever place it is.
Such a placename does not exist, unless it is a very small local townland in Ireland. The closest name to it, that you might actually be referring to, is the town of Ballyhaunis in county Mayo in the west of Ireland.
It's possible that the name is Tomdarragh as there is no townland in Co. Wicklow called Tandanagh. If so the Irish Gaelic name may be Tuaim Darach (the mound of the oak).
