Yet that modest trace is the ghost of a togher, a type of wooden trackway built across boggy or waterlogged ground that was once a practical solution to the sodden Irish midlands landscape. This particular example had been largely milled out by the time it was recorded, meaning the machinery used to harvest the surrounding bog had already consumed most of the structure, leaving only fragments behind.

What remained was recorded by Dunne in 1999 and classified as a class 2 togher, eighteen metres long and two metres wide. In one surviving patch, roughly 1.7 metres by one metre, the individual elements could still be seen lying longitudinally, giving a sense of how the whole structure would once have been laid out. The materials were a mixture of brushwood and roundwood, the thinner pieces ranging from just three millimetres in diameter up to three centimetres, the heavier roundwood elements reaching between seven and eleven centimetres across. Notably, there was no sign of any woodworking on any of the pieces; no trimming, no shaping, no joints cut. The builders appear to have used the material more or less as they found it, bundling and laying branches and small trunks directly onto the soft ground to create a passable surface. This kind of unworked construction is characteristic of simpler togher types, where speed and availability of material mattered more than refined craft.
