The National Monuments Service's description
A linear routeway (L c. 240m) described in italic lettering as 'The Togher' is shown on all OS 6-inch editions running WSW-ENE through low-lying wet marshy ground at this location (L c. 200m). Today the site is occupied by a narrow tarmacadamed road which is very susceptible to flooding during wet weather.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
