What is recorded here
Described by Lucas as 'Fragmentary remains of four timber toghers (OF023-014/001/003-), running in slightly different directions, came to light in Derrybrat bog, Broughal townland, Co. Offaly, in the course of operations there by Bord na Mona and were examined in June 1967. They were constructed of timbers in the round laid side by side at right angles to the lines of the toghers and supported by beams laid longitudinally below them. No surviving traces of a brushwood foundation were visible' (Lucas 1985, 39).
