- The roads in this locality get their names from the townlands they run through.
The Knockeen Road runs between Muingyroogeen and Kilmacrane. It is a branch of the old road which ran from Kerry to Cork. There is no trace of this old road at present. In some places there are houses built on it and wooded cliffs are now where the road once was.
The oldest road in this district is from Banteer to Kanturk. The second is from the Ball-Alley to Banteer and the next from Lyre to Millstreet which was called Wallace's road. The Lisheen Road so called because there are two forts by its side and it is said that there was a bleach of clothes seen there. This was made during the famine years. The Coolroemore road was also made as relief work during the famine. The rivers were crossed by fords before bridges were made. The Lacklown river was crossed at Átha na trí Téorainn a little to the North of where the bridge now stands. So called because three townlands come to a point there, namely, Lacklown, Fermoyle and Charlesfield.
The Kilcorney river was crossed by two fords Átha an Liche meaning the ford of the flags and Átha an Milling the ford of the mill so called because there was a mill in the river there(continues on next page)
