    The Mill Road starts at the mill in Ballyroura and ends in Scartnamoe. The Foreigner's Lane runs from the main Ross Road to Ballyroura The lane is not well kept. It is mainly used as a short cut. From Aylwardstown to Killivory there is a Mass path and another one from Hennessy's to Hanrahan's in Glenmore.
