   From Fenagh on through Curratavy there is another pass which leads to Killargue. It was used as a Mass path. Then there is another old pass from Blackgardens to Lisnaleanbh, and from that to Michael Fordes. That was the way that the people from Blackgardens and Mullaghmore used to go to Manorhamilton. There is another old road leading to the cross roads, and from that to the end of Mullaghmore.
