- The principal roads in my parish lead from a cross-roads in the middle of Kilmaine. One leads to Tuam and another to Galway. A little to the north there is a cross-roads. One road leads to Hollymount and the other to Ballinrobe. Another leads from the village to The Neal called the "chapel road".
There is a road in my townland called the Kilquire road. It serves Shealoghan and a part of Kilquire. There is a track of an old road passing through a farm called the Kilquire farm. It leads from the Hollymount road to Mr. Mohan's land. It is not used now. It was made in the year of the famine. It almost connected the Kilquire road to the Blessington road. At the south of the village there is a road leading from the Hollymount road to Ardkell and Killernan. There is a road leading from the Hollymount road to a pump which gives water to the village. This road divides the two townlands of Ellistron-Beg and Kilquire. This road is very little used.
