Ballyheridan is a townland in the civil parish of Lisnadill, it's around this vicinity today (note nearby references to Rock Road):

(couldn't get ShrinkLink to work this morning)

The following link shows the townland in the 1800s, but if you select STREET MAP over to the right, it will show where the townland is on a more contemporary map (select HISTORIC 6" to toggle back to the 1800s map or use the Overlay slider):
