    The principal roads are the Bog Road, the Sweep's Road, Pass Road and Cappanty Road. The Cappanty Road was the main road long ago and was going from Limerick to Galway. This road is still in use.
    In the mountain there is a gap caled the Windy gap. On the warmest day there is a strong cool breeze there. A road goes from this Gap over Woodcock Hill into Cratloe where the castles are.
    The bleach Road goes from Nix's Bridge long by the Crompaun and joins the Cappantimore Road. A lot of flax was grown here long ago.
