another from Craanmore to Kildavin. There is one on each side of the Slaney, one from Drumderry to Bunclody and on to Ballycarney and Enniscorthy. The other goes to Ardattin church and then on to Tullow.
There was an old church in Barragh, which was the Parish Church, but is now in ruins. On a stone there, there is the footprint of a saint. It was the Parish Church during the Penal Times. There was a chalice and a tabernacle door buried there in the bog. It is said that priests and people have dug for it but as it is believed that at the finding of it there will be a life lost, priests never liked to continue the search for it. That church is now replaced by the Parish - Church in Clonegal.
