  1. The Local Roads

    Share Share Post
    There is an old road named the Ballagh road, and there is a road near Ballyragget called Cromwell's road, and there is another in Cruttenclough called the Coach road, and there is another old road in Aughamuckey called the Yellow road. The Coach road leads from Coolbawn to Cruttenclough. Cromwell's road that is near Ballyragget is not used, but the others are still in use.
    There is a "mass-path" from Dick's gate and it leads to Castlecomer and there is another old mass-path from Mr. Regan's cottage into Castlecomer.
