   You could not see the road now because the grass has grown over it. The Shanakill road leads from the Main Road to Shanakill school. The New Line is from the Shanakill road to the Main road from Roscrea to Templemore. There is a new road at the back of Dargan's going to another road which leads to the forge at the main road again. There is a path through the Cross Park going to Roes in Clonmore.
