What is recorded here

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.
