The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on flat bogland. Excavation revealed a wooden trackway lying over pits filled with burnt stone associated with a nearby fulacht fia (TN036-050072). The trackway consisted of bundles of brushwood and roundwood laid longitudinally and pegged irregularly with evidence for extension and repair of the track (Cross 1999, Killoran 230, 73-5). This track was dated to 1500-1195 BC (Ó Néill 2000, 185).
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
