This road passed through Oldtown, Letterkenny and continued along what is now known as the Backroad right over Soccer Hill. It continued through a place called Meenadreen past Muckish and Errigal until it reached Burtonport. This was the direct route of the Dublin mail coach.
- Our house is situated in a mountainous place. A road leads past the door to the main road in either direction. These are not much used except as right of ways.

On May Eve they make bonfires.
