- (continued from previous page)The Borrisoleigh - Templemore road with the Thurles - Limerick road. The Rock Road joins Borrisfarney with Dovea. It gets its name, from its position leading to Barnane Eile.
There is a story connected with this road which tells us that, as a certain man was passing the Church, he was speaking badly of a man that had been buried there that day. Suddenly the dead man jumped over the wall and followed him. After a fierce struggle between them, the pursuer killed the other man with a knife.
Besides these roads there is also a network of laneways.Maura Collins
