The Ballycommon road goes through Ballycommon, Ballinagar and on to Daingean. The Derry road goes through Kilmurry, Kilclonfert, Ballyowen and on to Daingean. The Bracklin road goes through Kilmurry, Fairfield, Bracklin, Rark, Ranugh and on to Kilbeggan. All the roads are old and still used. There is a path going from Colehill to Ballycommon church and the people go along it to mass. It is as old as can be remembered. There is also one going through Mr Fox's land on which the Bracklin people go to mass. It is also very old.
