Crossdoney

Crossdoney
Crossdoney on the R154

Crossdoney or Crosdoney[1] (Irish: Cros Domhnaigh, meaning "cross of the church"[2]) is a village in County Cavan on the R154 regional road where it terminates at a junction with the R198. Peculiarly, all buildings in the village sit on one side of the road, and this gives rise to the widely used local expression: "All to one side like Crossdoney".

Crossdoney 1837

Description from Lewis's Topographical Dictionary of Ireland, 1837

“ CROSSDONEY, a village and post-town, in the parish of KILMORE, barony of CLONMAHON, county of CAVAN, and province of ULSTER, 4 miles (S.W) from Cavan town, and 59¼ (N.W) from Dublin city; the population is returned with the parish.

This small neat village, containing only 12 houses, is situated on the road from Killesandra to Cavan, and is surrounded by several gentlemen's seats. Fairs are held on April 5th, May 27th, Aug. 26th, and Nov. 17th. Near it is a good bleaching establishment; and at its entrance is Lismore, the seat of Col. Nesbitt, one of the oldest in the county.
