    There are many old roads in this district and probably the oldest of them is the Rocky Road to Dublin. This road branches off Augavanagh road at Ballymanus Bridge beyond Aughrim. It crosses the Coolgarrow Mountain and into Greenane and from Greenane by, Ballintombay, Ballydowling, Knockrath, Claramore South and Claramore North, Trooperstown, Moneystown, Tomriland and Roundwood and then to Dublin.
    There is an old road from Clash through Greenane More, Ballyteigue and joins the Rocky Road to Dublin at Ballydowling. Another old road starts from Clash through Whaley Abbey, Cloneen, Three Wells
