  1. The Cross road Dances all took place at the "Big Tree." All games should be finished at the big tree, and all fights finished at the big tree. They danced on the roads. Irish sets, quadrillers, reels and doubles. Sean Eibhlín used to play on the flute and the Donovans. They had the concertina too. There was both English and Irish spoken.
    We had box shows too - you'd hear them saying Máire búirc's box show is coming. hello
