The old road leading to Castleblayney is a very bad road as it is cut through rocks and hills.
It is very steep and hilly and very little motor cars travel on it. It is used mostly for carts going to and from the creamery.
Shamma lane is a very old and narrow lane. It (is) leads to Drumgriston bridge. The lane is about five miles long. it is very rough and stoney and no motors travel on it.
