There is an old by-road running from Callan to Knockmore. It was intended to run to Waterford but it was not finished. They say that it was the levellest road made at that time. It runs along in the valley under Killeen covert. It was done in the time of the Public works after the famine in they year 1848, to give work to the unemployed. The money for the road was granted by the English Government. All the unemployed men of the locality worked on this road. The wages they got was sixpence per day, and sometimes a pound of Indian meal. There is a stone ditch at one side of it, and a grassy bank at the other. It it not in contract now and the grass is growing
