This togher (L 11m min.; Wth 1.6m; D 0.15m), noted in 1987, was oriented E-W and consisted of a superstructure of longitudinal small brushwood (av. diam. 0.08m; av. L 1.8m) on a substructure of transverse rods and larger roundwood (av. diam 0.15m; av. L 3m). Short pegs (av. diam. 0.11m; av. L 0.45m) were used in its construction. The evidence for worked wood was extremely good. Presuming the togher crossed the bog, its original length would have been c. 650m. Radiocarbon dated to 1286-1000 BC (2925±40 BP, GrN-16559) (Raftery 1990, 63; 1996, Derryoghil 2, 115-20).
