This particular example is modest in its dimensions, just 1.2 metres wide and a mere 7 centimetres deep, yet in those small measurements lies a quiet kind of precision that speaks to deliberate construction rather than casual crossing.

The togher consists of a compact layer of ash brushwood laid transversely, meaning the branches run across the direction of travel rather than along it, a technique that distributes weight and resists sinking. The individual pieces of brushwood average around 3 centimetres in diameter, so this was not timber felling on any grand scale but rather the careful gathering of slender branches, laid tight and even. Alongside this brushwood sat a single squared oak timber, a detail that hints at some structural intention, perhaps a foundation element or a guide edge. The trackway runs east to west. Beyond that orientation, the date of its construction and the people who built it remain unknown from the available evidence, which is itself characteristic of bog trackways across Ireland. The preservative qualities of peat can hold organic material for thousands of years, but attribution and dating require further analysis than description alone can supply.
