The Quarterlands Road near Lisburn

A minor road running north west from Ballyaghlis to Ballyskeagh. I might be wrong but I understand that the name is derived from the old Scottish system of land measurement - a “quarterland” where land was assessed by value rather than by area. Further information is available on this Wiki link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markland_(Scots).
