The National Monuments Service's description
A band (exposed Wth 2.58m) of thin brushwood (av. diam. 0.03m) was exposed in an E drain face. It was not visible in the opposite drain face and there was no sign of woodworking. The orientation of the togher was difficult to determine as the brushwood formed a jumbled arrangement, however, the two principle directions noted were N-S and E-W. (Dunne 1999, 11, 99LBW0029A)
