  1. The principal roads in the district are the castlegrove road, the Kilconly road, the Lissaleen road, the Ballyroe road, and the Ratesh road. There are three old roads two of them are used yet but the other is but seldom used. The castlegrove road is steam rolled it starts in Tuam and and finishes in Ballinrobe. The roads were made long ago. Men and women used to work on them. Some of the workers on the roads used to get from one penny to sixpence. Castlegrove road was made in the bad times.
