The National Monuments Service's description
A roundwood trackway (Class 3 Togher) observed running for 16m. Two parallel roundwoods were visible in the base of a drain 0.75 m below the field surface. The roundwoods are aligned east - west and were up to 0.1m in diameter. The trackway was traced to the adjacent drain to the east where it is represented by a similar arrangement of wood situated at the base of the drain. The trackway occurs within a cluster of sites situated between the western edge of the bog and the dryland island within the bog. (Bermingham 2014)
