1905	Beckfield is so called from a spinster lady named Beck or Rebecca Flood, who built Beckfield House more than a century ago. It had been previously called Ballyawly, the Anglicized form of the original Irish name, which is béul-átha-Amhlaeibh (pronounced Bayl-aw-Oulee), that is, Awley's ford. The ancient ford is now marked by a bridge ... In 1653 John Fitzpatrick forfeited Ballyawly and Garryduff. A John Fitzpatrick paid hearth-money for two hearths in Ballyawly in 1665.
