  1. The Local Roads

    Share Share Post
    There is a road which leads from Iskaheen Chapel, Parish of Muff, Co Donegal, out to the main road at the village of Muff, it is called the Ardmore road because it leads through the Townland of Ardmore. There is another road leads from Carnamoyle out over the hill into Buncrana, it is called the Gap road, because it goes through a gap in the hill. It is mostly used for bringing the people's turf from the hill, this gap itself is called Grannies Gap, because it runs through Giant's hills.
