- Long ago there was an old Convent in Roxborough, and there were a great many Nuns in it. The children about it used to come and be taught there. There was a small graveyard out-side it, in which little infants were buried. That is how Roxborough got its name.
Ceathramha Clochar is the Irish name for it. It means "The stoney quarter" or the "Convent". There is a good deal of rocky places in it, there is a great many quarries to be found in it.
