    are two roads in Tamhnach. The Sheskin road was made in the year 1769. The Uggool road was made in 1908. The Bun-Uggool road was made in 1936, and one in Tamhnach in 1935 and the other in 1925.
    Men and women used to work on the roads one time. The men used to get sixpence a day and the women four pence. They used to carry gravel on their backs in creels. No roads were made in the Droch Shaoghal. The people used to walk on paths. There was a path from Bangor to Newport. It can be seen yet to the south-east of Bangor. It is not in use now.
