A peatland survey carried out in 2006 by Archaeological Development Services recorded a togher measuring in ‘width 0.28–3.62m, depth 0.12m, length 63m and dated to 1033±9bc’ (Whitaker 2006, 140). Described by Whitaker (2006, 140) as ‘this site was a poorly preserved transverse plank trackway. The upper transverse elements were supported by longitudinally laid brushwood and roundwood elements. Pegs were recorded in three of the sightings. It is possible that this site is the western extent of the site recorded in the RMP as LA033-015---- and that site TN-TPY002, to the east, also forms part of the RMP site’. According to Whitaker (2006, 140) 'it is possible that this site represents the eastern extent of the longer single plank trackway recorded as TN-TPY002a–c (TN030-046----), which was dendrochronologically dated to 1190–820bc and that both formed part of the site recorded in the RMP as LA033-015----, which is no longer visible owing to that part of the bog being very overgrown'.
