    a railway line.
    Some years ago a man by the name of Peter Hoey was killed on the bog road by a motor.
    Two years ago a woman was knocked down on the same road by motor and the accident was very grave.
    The woman that was knocked down got two hundred pounds.
    There is part of the bog road tarred. The "Summer road " is from Moyvoughley to Ballycloughduff is a well kept road and a lot of trees on the sides of it. It is a lovely road to travel on in the Summer time.
    The Curragh road is a branch of the Ballymore road is a narrow road with a drain each side of it.

    The road from Ballycloughduff to Mount Temple is a very hilly road - a hill on it is called "Lá-bán".

    About a quarter of a mile from Ballycloughduff there is a road going through the bog called "Scaw".
    There was supposed to be a road from the Rookery to Ballinderry about a century ago.
