    This district is a network of roads, and to a stranger the cross roads are very confusing.
    The local roads are known by the following names, the Stony Road, Ballyhoran Road, Derrycanten Road, Tinnakill Coolrain and Holy Cross Road.
    Long ago the road in front of my home was the main road from Abbeyleix to Roscrea. The Stony road leads to Camross and Tinnakill. It leads off the main road.
