    the mail - coach used to let one wheel rest against the stone to rest the horses.
    The Coghalstown Road connects the Nobber-Boyne Valley - Dublin road with the Navan - Kingscourt road Wilkinstown. This road went out of use when the mail - coach stopped going it and a road called the "New Line" was made from Ladyrath Crossroads to Wilkinstown Station. Coghalstown Road was used only by the owner of the estate up until a year ago when the estate was divided and the road was into use again.
