The National Monuments Service's description
Recorded by ADS in 2006 and described as a class 1 togher measuring in width 0.1-3.66m, Depth 0.12-0.42m, Length 90m. The togher was undated. Described by Whitaker (2006, 67) as ‘this togher was visible at five sightings across the northern corner of Littleton Bog, in proximity to a high density of sites. The togher was orientated east-west and was composed of longitudinally laid roundwood and brushwood elements. The composition of the togher varied somewhat along its length, as it was sparsely laid at the western end, at sightings TI- LTNP007a and TI-LTNO07b, and was recorded as being substantially more densely laid at sightings TILTNOO7c and TI-LTNOO7e’.
