  • The R115 road is a regional road in counties Dublin and Wicklow in Ireland. It follows the Military Road (Irish: An Bóthar Míleata) for its entire length. The R115 is 40.5 km (25.2 mi) long; the full length of the Military Road (Rathfarnham to Aghavannagh) is 57.9 km (36.0 mi). The Military Road runs north-south across the spine of the Wicklow Mountains. It was constructed between 12 August 1800 and October 1809, in the wake of the Irish Rebellion of 1798, to open up the mountains to British forces to assist them in tracking down United Irishmen insurgents who were hiding there. Rathfarnham itself was the scene of some skirmishes in the early days of the rising. It was one of the first purpose-built roads in Ireland, excepting turnpikes. Four barracks were built along the way at Glencree, Laragh, Glenmalure, and Aghavannagh. The engineer in charge was Alexander Taylor (b. 1746), who was responsible for many other roads in the country, including some turnpike roads (toll roads). (en)
