In the eighteenth century, the Cahir–Clogheen section was part of the main road from Cashel to Cork city.[3] It was superseded in the early 19th century by the construction of what is now the R639 road between Cahir and Mitchelstown.
The R665 crosses the R668 at Clogheen.[4] At Glentanagree Bridge, the R669 forks off to the south east past Mount Melleray to Cappoquin.[5]
