The National Monuments Service's description
This togher (L 330m; Wth 0.09-2.2m), orientated NE-SW, was visible at 20 sightings in a drain face and on the bog surface in the SE portion of Edera Bog. It crossed over an earlier togher (LF026-035----) on the same orientation. It was similar in composition to the earlier toher and was composed of densely laid roundwood and brushwood longitudinals underlain by transversely laid roundwood and brushwood.
