  1. The roads in olden were called "borairins". Some of them are made two or three hundred years. There is a "byroad" from Ballinwing cross-roads to Kiltoghert Cemetery. There is a path from Mullasallagh hill to the Sheafield forts and is called "The Fairies Path". The roads were made to give work in the Famine times, and it is said that some of the roads were not finished until a few years ago.
