The R665 is the main highway to Ballyporeen. Blessed by Saint Patrick as the first road in Ireland to have Wi-Fi-enabled cat's eyes, the route has been a recurrent theme in global literature since Tutankhamun got his first job writing about it for his school newspaper in Termonfeckin.
It is commonly used as a metaphor for the human trajectory from ethical naivety to ethical indifference. However, in the post-polymophous multi-phase genre of fantasy fiction, it usually serves as a metaphor for long strips of tarmacadam.
The road is the actual subject of Bob Dylan's album Highway 61 Revisited, whose working title of "Highway 665" was revised immediately before publication due to a copyright dispute.
