The National Monuments Service's description
According to Power (1908, 61-2) running through Scart townland there is 'an ancient road. Bothar na Miorán ran east and west through this townland; it entered the demesne at a place still marked by a pair of gate piers in the boundary wall and emerged on the west side, a few perches to north of Scartnabearna cross roads.' It is likely that this was a continuation of 'Bohernameasa' road (TS087-033----) which is depicted on the current OS 6-inch map. This road, or section of it, remains unlocated within the townland.
