- The main road from Dublin through Cavan and Clones to the North passes through this district near Cloverhill school.
The portion of it between Cloverhill Cross and Gannon's Cross was constructed as a relief work during the last century. The older road which it replaced is now the avenue to Cloverhill House.
The road from Belturbet to Ballyhaise crosses this road at right angles at Cloverhill Cross. About five or six hundred yards of the road from the cross in the Belturbet direction, was made by the railway company when the line from Ballyhaise to Belturbet was constructed. This avoided a level crossing. It is maintained by the railway company. The old road which it replaced, runs past the end of Cloverhill School, and forms the pathway to the school. There is no public right of way through it now.
There are no streams of any size crossed by roads in the district, and so there were no fords of any importance.
No local customs connected with cross roads except to form meeting places on a summer evening.
