Place & story
Towards Duncannon Bridge and Clonbanin
Samuel Lewis placed the beginning of the new government road from Killarney towards Mallow at Shanogh Cross, on Nohavaldaly’s Kerry side, in 1837. About a quarter of a mile farther on it crossed the Blackwater by the stone Duncannon Bridge. The route then ran through the southern part of the wider parish, broadly following the river, before joining the Mallow–Castleisland road at Clonbanin in Cullen parish. This describes a connected cross-county route, rather than placing every bridge and junction within the Kerry portion. [2]
