Road

In low-lying bogland. One of a series of several grass-covered roads which run across the bog in a N-S direction and provide access to turf banks. While the others are constructed of stone and gravel, wooden stakes are clearly visible at N end of this one. It can be traced for a distance of 88m (average Wth 1.6m), in a roughly NNE-SSW direction, and ends at a small pond.
