- There was an old road running along the Lislea bog long ago. There is no road in it now - it is a swamp. The water of the bog came in on it and the people stopped going it and began to go the new road. There is turf a cutting on that road now.
- There was an old mud lane long ago where Lislea lane is now. The old people used to call it the "Bóirín". There was a river going across the lane and there was a "Ciseach" it for the people to go across. The horses and carts would have to cross in the water. There was a bridge built across it about ten years ago.
