- There is a road leading from Greencastle to the Crossroads and it is called the Pound Road. In olden times there was a field called the Pound Field. I think it is the field at the back of Smith's House. I understand this field was kept specially for animals found by the police on the roadside or animals that were trespassing on other people's property. When such animals were put into this field, the owners could not take them out without paying a fee to the caretaker. That is how the Pound Road got its name.
