    Local Roads are known as boreens or carways or lanes or bog-roads. The local roads lead from one main road to another. The local names of the boreens in my district are, Moore's lane. It got its name from a herd who lived there a hundred years ago. Daneen's lane. It got its name from a prophet who lived there years ago. The big wells lane. It got its name from a well that was situated at the corner of the lane. Glass worn lane it got its name from a glass of water. The herring lane. It got its name from a man delivering herring in the District.
