The National Monuments Service's description

Three closely associated toghers (KD012-014----, KD012-014001- and KD012-014002-) running parallel to one another were surveyed:
KD012-014001-: This monument was traced intermittently, in four locations (L 430m; Wth. 0.06-2.76m; D 0.06-0.10m) running parallel with, and less than 10m to the E of, another togher (KD012-014----) . It was composed of transverse timbers lying on top of longitudinal timbers, and was damaged probably because it lay so close to the bog surface. The monument is dated AD900-1160. As well as a second togher (KD012-014----) immediately to the W, traces of a third togher (KD012-014002-) were found running parallel to the E again.
