- Some of the local roads are; The Bog Lane, The Connery and Ballycumber Lane. These lanes leads to the main road. They are very old lanes. There is a high hill about half a mile from the school and it is called 'the Black Hill'. How it got its name is that the heather in the summer has a black gloom from it. There is a path leading over this hill to the nearest town called Tinahely. There is a river in this townland and long ago before the bridge was put up over it; people used to cross it as shallow places on stepping stones. But when ever there was a flood in the river people would not be able to cross until the flood abated. There is also a path across a number of fields to Killavaney chapel.
