Bunclody, formerly Newtownbarry (until 1950), is a small town on the River Slaney in Wexford. It is located near the foot of Mount Leinster. Most of the town is in County Wexford; a small area at the north end of town is in County Carlow. The town is known for the "'Eileen Aroon' Festival" held during the months of July and August.
The R746 road intersects the N80 road in the middle of Bunclody.

Under the 1993 Roads Act all minor roads in the Republic are numbered on a county by county basis. Each number is prefixed with the letter L. For the best part of two decades most local road numbers however were known only to God and a select handful of selected officials at each county council road department, but in recent years there has been a gradual roll out of directional sign posts displaying the local road number, mainly where they depart from a national or a regional road. Unfortunately, many of these were erected long after Google Street View passed by. Ignored by OSI, Open Street Maps (OSM) are the only maps to show L numbers, but their coverage is very patchy
