    Everard's land and lane crossing the Knockcommon road, passing down Nulty's of Newtown lane, crossing the Cullen road and running on down over a ford at the Boyne.
    The custom of crossroad dancing is not very common in this locality. This custom is trying to be revived by the local people in the Summer evenings at a cross road a half mile from Slane. There are no traces of mass paths in the parish.
