There is an old road leading down to the River Fergus called the Weir Road. There are many big stones in the river and are called the weir also. On this road Father Murphy P.P. of Kilnaboy and Rath who lived in Sharon Cottage Crossard travelled to the little thatched church at Kilnaboy. There is an old road leading from Whitemount to Ballycashen called “Mothar Buidhe” This old road was used by people travelling to Kierces to get their flax hackled. The Kierces were hacklers in Cahermacon
