What is recorded here

In a low-lying bog running NW from the River Shannon. A section of road (L c. 1 km; Wth 2.5-3m; T 0.3m) just opposite the bridge of Clonmacnoise (RO055-008----) was revealed in 1983 at two separate points along its length as a layer of gravel (Wth 2.5-3m; T. 0.3m) at a depth of 0.6-1m in the bog. The modern NNW-SSE road (L c. 3km) through Nure village continues along the line of the routeway and may have been built on the gravel road. Part of the road is preserved in a section of uncut peat and was listed under Section 8 of the 1954 National Monuments Act. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
