The National Monuments Service's description
29 toghers, including possible toghers, were identified in Killoran townland in Derryville Bog as a result of field survey (Gowen 1999, 124-30). In 15 examples brushwood was the only component identified. The remaining examples were constructed from a mixture of brushwood and roundwood. Three toghers had evidence of pegs or stakes. An early medieval date of AD 1024-1162 was obtained from one togher (TN036-050164) sample. Wood species were identified in thirteen toghers, these included alder, ash, birch, elm, hazel, holly and mountain ash, with ash and hazel being predominant.
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.
