This minor road runs parallel with the A3 Lisburn to Moira road which was constructed in the 1830s - now bypassed by the M1 motorway. Before all that, this was the main route from Belfast to the west of Ulster. The linear settlement of Broomhedge stretches along this road - justifying its designation as a 40mph speed limit. Townland of Creenagh.
