    In this district the Glyde flows and long ago before there was a bridge made across it the people had to cross at a ford.
    The ford that the people of this district would have to cross at was Ballyhoe in the fields of Bernard Keelan Ballyhoe, Co- Meath.
    Beside the ford the river is very wide so that the water would be low and people could walk through it from one side to the other.
    Sometimes in the winter the water would get high in the winter and if it was too deep for the people to get through it; they would cut away part of the bank so that the water would get low. From Greatwood to Louth there is a Mass path on which people used to walk to Mass on some years ago.
