The R392 road is a regional road in Ireland linking Lanesborough, County Longford on the N63 to Mullingar, County Westmeath. Its route takes it in an arch (NW to SE) roughly west of the Royal Canal, which it crosses three times. The main town en route is Ballymahon, where it crosses the N55 and the River Inny. The Road largely follows the route of a portion of an ancient ceremonial route from Rathcroghan, in County Roscommon (the ancient capital of the kingdom of Connaught), to the Hill of Tara, in county Meath (the ancient residence of the High King of Ireland. This largely accounts for the remarkable straightness of the R392 compared to other Regional roads in the area. The route also closely passes the Hill of Uisneach, an even more ancient royal and druidic site between the villages of Moyvore and Loughnavalley, and runs parallel to the Corlea Trackway outside Ballymahon, an ancient wooden trackway across a peat bog found by bog workers in the 1980s and excavated fully in 1991. This link with the Corlea trackway indicates the R392 route to be one of the oldest routes in Ireland, possibly even in Europe. The road is long. ==See also== *Roads in Ireland *National primary road *National secondary road 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「R392 road (Ireland)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
