The section of the R670 from Cloughabreeda to Cahir town centre was the main road connecting Cahir with Cashel in 1714^[1] and was part of the T9 prior to 1974, when it was renumbered as part of the Dublin-Cork N8 national primary route. When the N8 was realigned to run southwest of Cahir in 1990, the old section of the road was reclassified as a regional road, and incorporated into the existing R670.^{[citation needed]}
