There aren't really any major roads in the area. The southern border of your townland would appear to be a road heading NE from Ballaghmore to Camross. The townland is located at 223 934 on Discovery map 54, and appears to be about half-wooded. The elevation at the lowest portion of the townland is about 450 feet, and rises to the northwest up to about 700 feet, where it borders the townland of Rossnabarnagh which continues to rise up the slope of the southern Slieve Bloom Mts.. Rossdorragha has about ten buildings in the townland, nearly all located on a short side road off of the Ballaghmore-Camross road. The townlands adjacent to Rossdorragha are Clonoonagh -to the west - and Cloncully - to the east. There are a couple of small streams passing through the townland, heading to the SE from the slopes of the Slieve Blooms. Pete Schermerhorn, in the glorious Berkshire hills of western Massachusetts
