   There is a Mass - path from Ballinagh Bridge to Potshee Church Co. Cavan, called Garrymore Lane.
   From Ballintemple road to Garrymore, there is a bridge which people call a ford.
   The main road 100 years ago, was from Arva to Wateraughy Co Cavan. It is an old by-road now.
   Animica Bridge at Ballintemple Co. Cavan, was supposed to be called "the Race of the black pig". The black pig was said to be a race of enchanted people who went across the bridge.
