No earthwork, no depression, no obvious irregularity in the landscape gives it away. Yet close to the surface, two plank-like fragments of carefully worked wood sit in the boggy earth, aligned roughly north-east to south-west, and together they represent what may be the remnant of a togher, an ancient wooden trackway laid across waterlogged or marshy terrain to allow passage where the ground would otherwise be impassable.

The fragments came to light in 2010 during archaeological testing carried out in advance of a proposed development. The excavation of a test trench revealed the two pieces lying close together: the larger measured 1.6 metres by 0.67 metres, the smaller 0.4 metres by 0.67 metres, with a gap of between 0.2 and 0.38 metres separating them. The ends of each piece flanking that gap appeared cleanly cut or sawn. Five wooden pegs had been inserted into a split running through the larger fragment. The two main planks seemed relatively late in date, but smaller fragments of wood found nearby bore tool marks consistent with an earlier period of activity, leading archaeologists to interpret the whole as possibly multi-period in origin, suggesting the crossing point may have been used, repaired, or rebuilt across more than one era. The remains were left undisturbed where they were found, preserved in situ beneath the ground.
