    The Old Hill is situated in the townland of Seskin about three miles from Rathgormack. It is by this road that people used go to Carrick befor the New Road was made.
    The Old Road.
    The Old Road begins at Connolly's Cross and joins the Old Hill three miles farther on. Everyone used to go to Carrick that way from the Comeragh mountains until the new road was made.
    The Old Road.
    This Old Road goes grom Killballyquilty through Ballingeara to Windgap. People come that way from Carrick and they pass on their between four ponds and three rocks. Long ago these rocks were whitewashed every year so that people would not lose their way in the nighttime.
