A togher is a timber trackway built across wet or boggy ground, a practical solution to the problem of moving people or animals through terrain that would otherwise swallow them whole. This particular example, recorded in 1987, runs east to west and measures at least seventeen metres in length, though the "minimum" qualifier hints that more of it may still lie preserved beneath the peat.

The construction is modest but precise. The trackway was made from brushwood hurdles, a method involving interwoven rods of hazel and occasional birch, each branch averaging just three and a half centimetres in diameter, worked in a simple under-over weave. Three upright stakes, called sails, were found still in place, and each one bore toolmarks at the ends, the direct physical trace of a Bronze Age worker with a blade, shaping timber sometime between 1109 and 900 BC. That date comes from radiocarbon analysis, which returned a result of 2830 plus or minus 35 years before present, placing the trackway firmly in the later Bronze Age. The work was published by Barry Raftery, whose research into Irish wetland archaeology did much to establish just how dense the network of such roads once was across the Irish midlands, each one representing a community organised enough to plan and build a shared route through difficult ground.
