It is classified as a togher, the Irish term for a timber trackway or causeway laid across boggy or waterlogged ground, and specifically a class 3 togher, meaning a relatively simple form of construction compared to the more elaborate engineered examples found elsewhere in the Irish midlands.

The trackway runs on an east-west orientation and was identified during field survey work carried out in 1988, subsequently recorded by Barry Raftery in 1990. Togliers of this kind are among the more quietly remarkable features of the Irish archaeological landscape. Preserved by the anaerobic, waterlogged conditions of peat bogs, they offer a rare and direct physical link to the communities that once needed to move people, animals, or goods across terrain that would otherwise have been impassable. The class 3 designation places this example among the simpler category of such roads, typically constructed from loosely arranged or minimally worked timber rather than the carefully pegged and planked surfaces seen in more complex types. That simplicity does not diminish it; it is evidence of a practical, recurring human need to negotiate a difficult landscape.
