Bellanamullia or Bealnamulla (Irish: Béal Átha na Muille, meaning 'mouth of the mill ford')[1] is a village in County Roscommon, Ireland. It lies 4 km (2.5 mi) from the centre of Athlone, just beyond the urban boundary, on the R362 regional road.
The area has experienced growth in the early 21st century, attributable to Athlone's expansion.[2]
Although a village in its own right, Bealnamulla is considered a suburb of Athlone town for census purposes.[2]
The Meehambee Dolmen, a Megalithic tomb, is located about one kilometre south of the village.
Notable people
- Michael Duignan, Roman Catholic prelate and current Bishop of Clonfert and Galway and Kilmacduagh, was educated in the village.[3]
