    Another old road leads from the Askeaton - Creeves road over a rough country out to Nutgrove between, Creeves and Shanagolden. It is never used except when men from the town draw squeezeloops from Ballylin wood.

    All the old roads were made during the famine, they were started as relief schemes. The main road from Askeaton to Limerick must have been made about the year 1826, because this date is cut on the stone and inserted on the wall of a small bridge built over a stream which flows near my house.
