An Old Road  [duchas:4390205]

There is an old road near our house. The old road is called the “Car Road.” It runs from garrey’s Bray to the road that runs past our house. There are ruins of a house on this old road. It is said that warriors of long ago lived in this old house. Most of the road is grown over with grass and trees. Most of the road is sunk and it is like a bog now. This is an outline of the old road.
