The National Monuments Service's description
Traditionally a road ran N-S across a shallow basin between the church of Termonkeelin (RO020-043003-) at the N end and the church of Termon More (RO026-034----) at the S end (L c. 1 km). The basin is covered in peat (D c. 1.5m), most of which has been cut, but nothing is visible in the peat or in the pasture fields at either end, although a it was visible as a layer of brushwood and stones in a bog cutting (Timoney 1990, 16).
