Comprehensive sign at the Ballyskeagh Road end of the Quarterlands Road Image 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. Information is available on this Wiki link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markland_(Scots). Further help welcome.
