This togher (L 420m; Wth 0.06-3.88m), orientated ENE-WSW, was visible in a drain face and on the bog surface at 25 sightings across the SE portion of Edera Bog. It ran on a similar orientation and to the S of a trackway (LF026-033----), the two separating further as they extended to the SW. The composition of the togher varied along its length but it included longitudinally laid planks, roundwood and brushwood that were both underlain and overlain by transversely laid planks, roundwood and brushwood. Some pegs were recorded. At many of the sightings there was no observable structure. Radiocarbon dating revealed a date range of AD 540-620. (Rohan 2009, 116-19, LF-EDR002-)
