    There is an old road leading from the Kimacrennan Road to the Green Road behind Knockabrin Hill. This road leads past our house until it reaches Malseeds. It then continues to Wood land and joins the Green Road leading to Longhagannon. This road was called the Loughagannon Road. It was made in 1846 during the Famine. The poor people found employment.
