Well whaddya know. I know Toomebridge very well but I've never heard of Crosskeys as a village. It must be very small.

Actually I've just googled it and can still only find a reference to the well-known pub.

[beejay1124]

Crosskeys is just a small townland--best known for The Crosskeys Inn

[ichkeria]

Actually "Crosskeys Inn" might be a better answer to the above, as "Key's in(n)" implies "can unlock the door" but without knowing the number of letters. ...
