- The Glandree Road
The Glandree road runs through Glandree.It was made first in the year of the famine 1847 ninety one tears ago.it was made through crags ,fields and fences..in the year of the famine the people were dying of hunger so the Board of Works thought of this and to be made to employment to the people in order that they would earn some money to buy food for themselves.There was an old path running down by Big Den Moloney's down by Mick Moloney's and out through Gortcummar hill.There are a great many paths and avenues leading out from houses to this road.it was repaired every year by labourers for years after it being made but it is repaired by contract now. - Marl Holes
There was no artificial manure selling long ago for to improve the land .So the people found this manure under the ground of Glandree.They call it marl.It is of a whitish colour and it is very thick and heavy.it was in good many places in Glandree.It is usually found in good land .The people dug large holes in the ground to get this manure and they called them the marl-holes.Fish live in these holes now.
