    Share Share Post
    Staball is the name of a hill on the north of Castlebar. When general Humbert came down the hill he was met by the English. One of the French soldiers rushed forward and attempted to stab one of the English. A woman who was living in that street ran out and shouted Stop! "dont stab one stab all", and the street is since called Staball.
