The National Monuments Service's description
This togher (L 2.9m min.; Wth 1.67m; D 0.09m), orientated NW-SE, consisted of longitudinally laid brushwood (av. diam. 0.04-0.05m; L 0.1-1.8m min.) and occasional roundwood (av. diam. 0.07m; L 0.1-1.8m min.) loosely laid, one to two pieces deep. The wood was in a very poor condition and no toolmarks were present. Species identified included ash, oak and apple-type. The togher extended beyond the development footprint at its SE end and lay c. 1.5m E of another togher (LF004-014----) (Moore 2009a, 26, EDC 18).
