The National Monuments Service's description
Local report of a togher: portions of it were uncovered regularly in the past during turf-cutting. It comprised a single line of planks laid lengthwise and a series of low, upright stakes. It was aligned approximately NW-SE. The last portion was uncovered c. 1970 after which turf-cutting ceased in the area. It is not visible at ground level.
Compiled by: Mary Tunney based on data supplied by the former Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit, University College, Dublin.
