    The Chapel Road.
    There is an old road going along the foot of the mountain called the Chapel Road. It is so called because people went from Ross to the chapel in Graigavalla that way long ago.

    There is a road going from Healy's Cross to Cahill's Cross called the Long Road. It is about one third of a mile in length. On the western side of the road there is a stone called the Hungry Man's Stone and people say a hungry man sat begging there during the Penal Days.
