    The custom of cross-road dancing was in the district some time ago, but is fastly dying. No mass paths were known in the district.
    The Lougher road was one of the five roads from Tara, known as Slige-Mid-Luachra - Luachra being the genitive case of Luchair which means very rushy. My grandfather (Patrick Lenehan) got the greater part of Lougher drained when he went to live there.
