The road from Tuam to Milltown is not there half as long as the road from Tuam to Dunmore. It is only three years since it was tarred.
There is a bridge on the Tuam to Dunmore road at Garrunes, about two miles from Tuam. This bridge is over Garrunes river and the road
runs right through Garrunes turlough and the water is on each side of the road. The bridges that are on by-roads are called "gullets"
if they are only over small streams.
