  2. There are no old roads in this district. The roads are all public roads at present. There is a road in the district called "the Line". This road was made about a hundred years ago. It leads from Lisbealad school into Dunmanway.
    Before the bridges were made the people used to cross the shallow-places of the river with stepping-stones.
    They usually hold a pattern on the crossroads every Sunday evening. The people meet at the crossroads every evening and tell the news of the day. There is a monument at Fonlabush about one mile east of Dunmanway to Cannon Magner.
