    Nellie Bowe's Hill
    This road branches off the bog road and it goes out to Geehan's cross. This cross got its name from a man called Owen Geehan. He was killed during the time of the Fenians for being a spy. It is a hilly road and it got its name from a woman named Nellie Bowe who lived there in olden times.
