   Local roads I live in the village of Drumconrath. South of the village is the Ardee road which leads to Ardee. About a quarter of a mile from the village, the bog road branches off the Ardee road and leads to the Corstown bog.

These roads are still in use and in good order age 14 years Monica Saul G school
