    (continued from previous page)
    This is a road made of clay. It leads from Doyle's cross to Mooney's cross.
    Engine Street
    It leads from Doyle's cross to the Glen cross. There used to be an engine pumping water out of a coal mine on the side of this road.
    The Pit Road.
    This road runs from Wolfhill Barracks to an old pit.
    The Coach Road
    Shortall's house in Ballylinan was a stand for the old coach. When the old coach would be going from Dublin to Kilkenny it took this route. When it came to the Mill it crossed through the fields and it came out on the main road at Tom Mooney's gate in Glasna.
    When it came to Fleming's house in Glasna it went down an old road at the end of the house.
