- The main road in this is the broad road from Dublin to Derry.
There are some old roads in this district and they are still in use.
The roads in olden times were made as work for the people, they were payed sixpence a day.
There is also another road running much the same direction, and the difference between them is two and, a half miles. This road runs from Aughnacloy to Caldon and, passes through Tynan then it goes on to Armagh.
These two roads are the principal one nearest to this district.
