- The Road from Drimoleague to Meenies is called the Quarry Road. From the School to the Pattern Cross this road is called the Meenies Road. This road is made for about 150 years, and the workers got 8d. a day.
The Leaca Road is very old and runs along the side of a hill.
From the Old Pattern Cross to Dunmanway runs the NEW LINE, which was made about 50 years ago.
Further South is the Leach road joining the Quarry Road about a mile from Drimoleague Village. Near the Leach Road is the grave of one of Cromwell's soldiers, who got exhausted in the march from Cork to Bantry. The headstone remains, but the one at the foot has been removed.
There is nothing very interesting in connection with the other roads of the school district.
