    throughout the nineteenth century. All the roads mentioned are still in use. There are no very old roads around Celbridge. These roads were not made as relief work during the Famine period but for better travelling purposes.
    Before bridges were made rivers were crossed by means of stepping stones, which formed a ford. I know only one ford around Celbridge. It was where the bridge is now and two of the big stones can be seen yet.
    There are no mass-paths around Celbridge.
