    The roads of the district are Glenree road, Glen and Carrig road. Creeslough road and Loughsalt road. It is about 200 years since Loughsalt road was made. A long time ago the people went out Loughsalt going to Milford as it was a good near-cut. The Creevy road was made in the bad times. The people got meal as pay. The stones were got in a quarry belonging to Mandy McGettigan and were taken in a hand barrow.
