  1. Roads

    Share Share Post
    The principal roads in the parish are the Glenties road and the Gwee-Barra road.
    One of them leads to Glenties and the other to Gwee-Barra Bridge.
    The Gwee-Barra road is made forty years. In the bad time the men made roads and they worked for three pence a day. The women used to work on the roads when the men would stop, the women had to work in their place.
    There is a Mass path between Mause and Letterilly where Mass was said long ago.
