Crossgar

Crossgar ()〔(Placenames NI )〕〔(Placenames Database of Ireland )〕 is a village and townland in County Down, Northern Ireland. It is about south of Belfast – between Saintfield and Downpatrick. Crossgar had a population of 1,539 people in the 2001 Census, increasing to an estimated 1,872 people in the 2008 Estimate Census.
== History ==
Crossgar has had an interesting and varied past, from the settlement of Anglo-Norman invaders, to Scots settlers, to the St. Patrick's Day riots in the 1800s. According to a history of Down and Connor by a Fr. O'Laverty, the parish of Kilmore, in which Crossgar lies, was likely to have been established around 800 AD and was the ecclesiastical centre of this part of County Down. It was thought that the area had seven chapels and these can be reasonably evident by the remains of burial grounds. But the seventh cannot be traced to a burial ground and is referred to as the "lost chapel of Cill Glaise". O'Laverty says that by tradition this chapel was built by Saint Patrick and left in the care of his disciples Glasicus and Liberius.
The name Crossgar comes from the Irish ''An Chrois Ghearr'' meaning "the short cross". There is a holy well known as St. Mary’s Well (''Tobar Mhuire'') which suggests that in this case ''crois'' (cross) is likely to refer to an ecclesiastical cross, no trace of which now remains. The adjective ''gearr'' (short) may suggest that the cross was damaged or in some way defective. The parish of Kilmore comes from the Irish ''Cill Mhór'' meaning "big church" or another possible meaning is ''An Choill Mhór'' meaning "the big forest", which suggests that the area was covered by a large forest. Another location of one of the seven chapels is the townland of Killinchy (''Cill Duinsí'') meaning "Duinseach's Church".
In June 1920, the Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC) barracks at Crossgar was attacked by the Irish Republican Army (IRA), who were beaten off.
