The National Monuments Service's description

This togher (exposed Wth 3.16m; T 0.35m max.) was exposed in an ENE drain face. It comprised a transverse roundwood superstructure, aligned NNW-SSE, overlying a longitudinal roundwood and brushwood substructure, possibly aligned ENE-WSW. The elements ranged in diameter from 0.025-0.11m. Three pieces of brushwood lay 1.5m to the NNW and another 0.2m to the SSE. No remains were visible in the opposite drain face and no woodworking was evident. (Dunne 1999, 23, 99DBNW0013A)
