No surface trace visible of togher in the area marked on the OS 6-inch map. Described by Davies (1942) as a track which does not look very old climbs the hill on to the ridge at the church (OF026-017001-) and continues along the ridge to the castle (OF026-018----) on site of modern road.
Archaeological testing under licence no. 04E0009 was carried out as part of the planning schedule for a single-house development adjacent to a barrow, a togher and an enclosure at Urney, Geashill, Co. Offaly. A series of trenches were excavated by mechanical digger at the house site, entrance and percolation area. No features or finds of archaeological significance were revealed (Excavations Bulletin 2004).
