- The Main Road
The Main Road between Waterford and Limerick and which passes by here was built during the Famine years 1847 and 1848. A large number of men were employed at five pence per day to construct it. Although the wages were small they prevented people from dying of hunger. Before the road was made the people had no proper roads they had to travel old rocky boreens without bridges.
The men worked in batches under a ganger building the fences, while farmers with horses drew the gravel and the stones to build the bridges.
A man named James White of Killaldriffe was the local ganger: he worked on the road for a half a century after the road was made.
