The National Monuments Service's description

This togher (L 7m min.; Wth 0.5-0.8m) noted in 1988, was orientated N-S and was composed mostly of longitudinal brushwood (diam. 0.03-0.05m); there was good evidence of worked wood. It was not substantial and had noticeable gaps between the brushwood. Another togher (LF018-081052-) underlay it, at a right angle to it (Raftery 1996, Derryoghil 19a, 148).
