Hackballs Cross is a crossroads in Barronstown townland, County Louth where local roads meet the N53. With a poor safety record on its historic alignment, the junction was improved in the late 1990s to stagger the L3125 and further improved in 2015 to incorporate a turning lane and LED street lighting.
Local legend states that the junction's name came from an 18th century landowner who hacked thieves disturbing his property to death.
