What is recorded here
A togher (L 20m; Wth 2.23m; D 0.3m), orientated ESE-WNW, composed of a longitudinal hurdle panel overlying a roundwood substructure. The weave of the hurdle was a simple under-over pattern alternating with every second sail. Small worked pegs were inserted through it to prevent lateral movement. The togher survived across two fields.
