A togher is marked on the Strafford map of c. 1636 (Simington 1949, Athone) and described as Toughow, running S from Carrowreagh. Togher is a townland at the E end of a bog that extends W to the River Suck (dims c. 3 km E-W; c. 1 km N-S), and is a Bord na Mona bog and wildlife sanctuary. The road is clearly marked as being towards the E end of the bog, and the N-S R357 Athleague to Ballinasloe road E of the bog may be intended, a minor road crossing the bog NE-SW (L c. 550m) and connecting Carrowreagh and Cloonaddron townlands might also have been intended.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
