  1. Local Roads - Ballyduff

    Share Share Post
    There is one road leading from the village of Ballyduff to Tournageeha known as The Rocks and further up where it joins the main road it is called The Ropallac.
    The main road leads to Araglen and on to Mitchelstown and Ballyporeen.
    There is a very old road leading through the mountain from Ballysaggart down to the main road in Tournageeha. It is only used as a Mass path now as it is rough for horses.
    There is a cross road in Tournageeha known as The Cross and it was the custom to have a dance there in Summer time and to have a bonfire there on St. Johns Night.
    There the boys generally meet for a game of cards or a chat during the Summer evenings.
