The National Monuments Service's description

In Derryvella Bog. This togher was composed of transversely laid roundwood and brushwood supported by longitudinal roundwood and brushwood runners. It was orientated NE–SW towards a plank trackway (TS048-059----), which is located 10m to the N. The togher was visible at two sightings on the surface of two fields and had been extensively milled. It was intersected on its SW side by (TS048-063----), a togher that ran parallel to the plank trackway. Its proximity to the plank trackway would suggest that this togher was intended to join with the more substantial plank trackway, which crosses the width of the bog.
