The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on flat bogland. This togher consisted of a small densely packed roundwood and brushwood track with timbers set longitudinally resting on transverse timbers which acted as a supporting feature (Murray 1999, Cooleeny 64, 29). This track has been dated to 1420-1020 BC (Ó Néill 2000, 186).
