The "Back" road which is called "Bohereen Na Nultha" that means "Nultys" road and this is a very old road and it is still used.
Road were made for relief work during the famine times and one I was told about is the Churchtown road. Men would work from seven o-clock in the morning until seven o-clock at night for four pence per day making roads.
There are usual games at the cross-roads "Pitch" and "Toss", "Hand Ball" and other amusements still.
