Thanks for the Map A-Bob, it's very good, but the stag was built before the canal, and that affects (or affected) the highways.
But what I was really aiming at was, that the Stag was obviously built for travellers as an Inn. And that means a major thoroughfare was there on the spot. A crossroads would seem very likely, and there was an existing (or old) road from Church Kirk to Antley.

Haven't got much time to-day, but will have a look at Tealeaf's clue if I can!
