- There is an old Mass path from our house down to Moydow church.
Long ago all the old people used to go that way, but now the old people are dead and gone.
There is also a path from Steven Mills to Moydow through Toneen, but not so many people go that way.
Still it is used as an old local Mass path.
There is another one from Glanmore to Clough church.
A great deal of people go this way as it is a very short way for everyone from that district.
As you go this way there is an old rock, and it is said that an old chief was buried under it.
Some people are afraid to go this way at night, when they heard about this
There is a other one from the mountain by which all the Mountain people come.
It is a very old local one.(continues on next page)
