- Graham's Lane is a lane leading from Dunshaughlin east to Ballymona. It begins at a crossroads on the lane leading from Tallon's house to Lagore. It is so called because a man named Graham owned land there and was killed on his way home from Dunshaughlin one stormy night. This lane reaches the Bog Road at a house called OMalleys'.
