  1. Our Road

    Share Share Post
    Our road is leading from Dunmore to Claremorris. There are many trees, houses and fields in it. There were more trees in it long ago but not as many houses.
    There were holes and big stones in it long ago but it was steam-rolled last year and it is nice and kind for walking on. There are many bridges situated along the road namely the bridges of Dunmore Garrafrauns Dunmacreena and many others.
    Near the bridge of Dunmacreena is situated the Cashel of Dunmacreena which belonged to the Blakes. They are not living now they were evicted one hundred years ago. It was once a great mansion but now only heap of ruins.
    The part of our road next the school the school is called
    Cluan phéin ie. meadow of the pines
