- (continued from previous page)There is a place which is never called by its proper name which is Dromartin Avenue. The inhabitants of Dundrum call it Stoney Road because the road had so many stones on it.
There is no one [are few] who knows [know] the reason why Butcher's Lane is so called. It is called that because of all the beech trees which are along that road. The people in Dundrum changed the name by pronouncing it Butcher's Lane instead of Beecher's Lane.
There is a lane which is called Sweet Briar Lane because of all the wild flowers which grow along the banks.
