What is recorded here
According to Power (1905, 123) an ancient road running between Lismore and Ardmore crossed the N-S River Blackwater at a ford (WA029-012----), which brought it to Affane (WA029-013----). From here a branch (WA029-014----) extended E (L c. 3.5m) towards Whitechurch along public and private roads, but it disappears c. 1km from the E-W River Finisk (Power 1905, 123-4). However, a short section (L c. 100m) survives as a lane leading to the river (WA030-011----). From Whitechurch the route turned S (WA029-045----).
