In rough pasture, on the lower N-facing slopes of Knocknaveacal. This road runs along the lower slopes of the hills between Kenmare and Castletownbere. A grassed-over, disused stretch of this road (Wth 3-4m) runs immediately N of the Cashelkeelty complex of monuments (KE108-013001-, KE108-013002-, KE108-013005-, KE108-013006-). The road is described by Lynch (1981, 65) as the remains of a medieval roadway. Parts of it have been incorporated into the modern road which was built in the mid 1800s. Other sections form part of the 'Beara Way' walking route. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
