The Mile Road

This townland was to have been the site of an extension to the Mile Road at Newtownbutler. That road was built in famine times as relief work and was to have extended on through Kilmore townland to reach the Carneyhome Road. This would have shortened the journey for those walking to Newtownbutler. At that time the lane from Henry Johnston’s farm came down to the Carneyhome Road and the new road would have followed roughly the line of it across Derrymeen to the Cloghagaddy road. There used to be a clay bank in a field beside that road marking where the new road would join but nothing more was done and the Mile Road extension was never finished either. The Johnston family of that time built their own lane out to the main road.
