    Roads:
    'Flail Lane' at Sheephouse, Drogheda, has been so called because the corn that grew on 'Corn Hill' when cut was brought into ' Flail Lane' and there was beaten with a flail. This was an excellent place for such work and it was chosen because if a certain wind was blowing the chaff was blown into the corner of the lane and saved much trouble.
    'Flail Lane' was a road many years ago before the road was made round by Sheephouse quarry.
