    The road leading to from Kilclare to Gowel is called the Bridle Road. The road leading to Mullaghboy is called the "Old Road". (got its name). The "Old Road" got its name because no person can tell when it was made. The people of Effernagh were making a new road lately through a bog and they found a foot path about a half a mile long. The path had six supports at each side to keep it from (rot) wet and from decaying.
