The National Monuments Service's description
A linear roundwood and brushwood trackway made up of a series of longitudinally laid roundwoods and brushwood elements identified at three separate locations. It is classified as a Class 2 Togher and was exposed on the surface. The roundwoods can occur singly and all have been subject to milling damage. The construction elements are light with diameters ranging from 0.05m to 0.08m. Where exposed, the roundwoods are broken along their length from milling and the longest individual piece is 0.5m. The trackway is aligned east - west, runs for 24m and is situated in raised bog peat with Eriophorum. (Bermingham 2014)
