Ballydougan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ballydougan is a townland in County Armagh near Lurgan, Northern Ireland.

The Ulster Volunteer Force killed three Catholics there on January 4 1976, leading in part to the Kingsmill massacre where the Provisional Irish Republican Army killed 10 Protestant men the following day. Bloomvale House has had craftspeople living and working in it since 1785 and is currently the home of Ballydougan pottery. [1]
