A multi-layered plank site (L 579.78m min.; Wth 3.33m; D 0.48m) orientated NW-SE. The site is predominantly constructed of transverse planks secured at either end by split timber pegs and supported on a substructure of densely packed, longitudinal planks and miscellaneous split timbers. Mortices were cut into some planks, two of which secured by pegs. The basal layer is comprised of transverse timbers (L 0.32m min.; Wth 0.3m min.; D 0.1m min.) and light brushwood. The middle layer consists solely of longitudinal planks (L 2.28m max.; Wth 0.56m max.; D 0.06m max.), one timber with a sub-rectangular mortice. The upper surface consists of transverse planks (av. L 1.39m; av. Wth 0.32m; av. D 0.06m), small split timbers and mixed brushwood. The planks are spaced at regular intervals, approximately 0.1m apart, with brushwood in the intervening areas. It is in moderately to well-humified Sphagnum peat with Eriophorum. The site produced dendrochronological dates ranging from 1083±9 BC (Q10126) to 911±9 BC or later (Q10125). SMR OF018-111---- is 0.75m below the site at one point along its E extent. SMR OF018-016. Compiled by: Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College Dublin). This site was initially recorded in the RMP as 18:16 (although it is in the Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly as 18:6) and subsequently identified by the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (UCD) in their 2001 survey as a primary togher orientated north-west to south-east terminating at a gravel knoll in the middle of the bog. They recorded woodworking throughout the site, as represented by split timbers as well as a number of degraded toolmarks and mortises. Following the survey the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (UCD) obtained dendrochronological dates ranging from 1083±9 BC to 911±9 BC or later for this site (Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (UCD) 2002). Five cuttings measuring 10m by 4m were excavated under licence no. 04E0722 along the length of this trackway and it was recorded at twelve other locations. The excavation revealed the remains of a substantial wooden trackway c. 600m in surviving length and on average 3m wide. The construction method and the materials used appear to be quite uniform along its length. The original construction appears to have been transverse planks secured by pegs lying on top of longitudinal runners. The trackway is built in a remarkably straight line and does not appear to respect local topography, as evidenced by the variation in the number of construction layers used and the repairs that were carried out. Environmental analysis of peat cores and samples taken from the cuttings may help to explain the variation in the number of construction layers/phases of repair along the length of the trackway and the presence of a sandy deposit and tree stumps. Dating samples taken during the excavation will help to confirm the possible period of use of this trackway. Research into this site is ongoing and post-excavation analysis, dating and environmental evidence may help to form a clearer picture of the function of this site (Excavations Bulletin 2004).

A small deposit (L 1.8m min.; Wth 1.29m; D 0.15m) consisting of, two closely laid brushwood parallel to one another and two possibly displaced set at oblique angles. The two parallel pieces are orientated NNE-SSW with one overlying roundwood orientated N-S. The remaining piece at the S end of the exposure is fragmented and orientated E-W. Where not machine damaged the brushwood (diam. 0.068-0.09m) is in good condition. The deposit may be the remains of a disturbed linear structure constructed of longitudinal roundwoods. It is in moderately humified Sphagnum peat with some ericaceous remains and fibrous roots. Recorded by the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College, Dublin) in 2001. The evidence is not sufficient to warrant its acceptance as the remains of an archaeological monument.

The site (L 264.32m min.; Wth 3.2m min.; D 0.3m min.) is orientated NE-SW consisting of up to three layers. It was evident at seven sightings and occurs at varying depths beneath the field surface. At the primary sighting it consists of three layers. The basal layer consists of transverse brushwood and roundwoods above which lies a layer of longitudinal roundwoods. The uppermost layer consists of transverse roundwoods and timbers with occasional irregularly laid brushwood. Some of the timbers in this layer contain mortices, one of which was secured with a peg. Overall, timbers comprise the main construction element of the site with pegs present at four sightings. The condition of the site varies along its length with field surface sightings suffering the worst machine damage. The site lies within well-humified Sphagnum peat containing Eriophorum and ericaceous remains. The site has produced a dendrochronological date of 926±9 BC (Q10134). This site lies 3m N of SMR OF018-102----. Compiled by: Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College Dublin). OF-CL00004 was identified by the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (UCD) following their 2001 survey as a primary togher orientated from north-east to south-west across the bog; it was recorded at seven sightings at various depths below the field surface. The Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (UCD) described this site as generally being composed of two to three layers consisting of brushwood, roundwood and timbers, with timbers being the main construction element overall (Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (UCD) 2002). Three cuttings were excavated under licence no. 04E0724 along the length of this site; all measured 6m by 4m. The remains of this trackway in Cutting 1, and those recorded by the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (UCD), consisted of a 3.5mwide transverse plank trackway. The remains in Cuttings 2 and 3 were those of a single plank trackway. The structure was orientated from north-north-east to south-south-west across a narrow stretch of bog between two areas of dry land. It is possible that in Cutting 1 the remains consisted of a single plank trackway with a platform incorporated into it. Research is ongoing and it is hoped that parallels for this kind of structure can be found. The dating evidence will aid in its interpretation.

A sparse deposit of two pieces of light brushwood and a plank on the field surface (L 0.63m min.; Wth 0.97m; D 0.09m). The plank (Wth 0.18m; D 0.08m) is tangentially split. A small lens of sand is present beneath the plank. The wood is in poor condition and sits in a humic soil above well-humified Sphagnum peat.

A band of half-split timbers, irregular off-splits and two pieces of light brushwood (Wth 4.96m; D 0.18m). The elements are sparsely and irregularly laid and do not form a coherent structure. The off-splits occasionally occur in small groups and one sits at an angle of 45° but this does not appear to have been functional. All of the wood is in poor condition. A small lens of sand lies beneath one of the half-split timbers. The site sits in well-humified, minerogenic Sphagnum peat containing occasional Calluna and much natural wood.

The site (L 4.27m; Wth 2.06m min.; D 0.1m) is orientated NW-SE and composed of fragmented pieces of mixed brushwood, five light roundwoods and occasional twigs. The majority of the elements are closely set and longitudinally laid with the remaining pieces irregularly laid and dispersed. Woodworking is evidenced by two chisel points and one wedge point. The surrounding peat is moderately humified Sphagnum and Eriophorum with some ericaceous wood fragments. Compiled by: Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College Dublin). This site was described by the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (UCD) in 2001 as a tertiary togher of fragmented mixed brushwood, light roundwood and twigs orientated from north-west to south-east (Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (UCD) 2002). The majority of the elements were closely set and longitudinally laid, with the remainder being irregularly laid and dispersed. Woodworking was evidenced by the presence of two chisel points and one wedge point. The site lay in moderately humified Sphagnum and Eriophorum with some ericaceous wood fragments. The cutting was located over the only recorded sighting of this site. The cutting under licence no. 04E0725 measured 5m by 3m. This would appear to be the remains of a small north-east/south-west-orientated trackway, though the orientation was difficult to discern due to the restricted amount of wood present. Given that the wood did not extend beyond the small area of the cutting, this was either a very localised track over a particularly wet area of bog or it once extended further and has since been destroyed. As the site was visible on the field surface and the wood was in a poor state of preservation, it seems likely that this site originally continued for a longer distance but has been substantially damaged by machine activity.

An irregular deposit (L 1.45m min.; Wth 1.55m; D 0.25m) of over thirty fragmented pieces of brushwood (diam. 0.01-0.055m) on the field surface and in the drain face. It may have been a more cohesive length of hurdle prior to disturbance by machinery as sampling revealed that some of the pieces are interwoven. Many of the elements are orientated either E-W or N-S. The site is too disturbed to identify possible rods or sails and no uprights are evident. Only one small chisel point is evident. The site is in well-humified Sphagnum peat with some ericaceous remains. Recorded by the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College, Dublin) in 2001. The evidence is not sufficient to warrant its acceptance as the remains of an archaeological monument.

The site (L 29.55m min.; Wth 1.9m; D 0.17m) is orientated NE-SW and is composed of half-split timbers and occasional mixed brushwood, with pegs. The half-split timbers (diam. 0.01-0.13m) are closely set and are aligned transversely, with evidence for a single longitudinal timber along the W edge of the site. A small lens of sand occurs beneath one timber. The pegs sit in vertical or near-vertical positions and aligned along the SW side of the site. A number of metal-cut chisel points, a wedge point and the timbers attest to woodworking. One of these timbers, one has a possible mortice and there are further timber off-splits and evidence of branch-trimming. The wood is in poor condition as a result of milling and exposure. It is in well-humified Sphagnum peat containing Eriophorum and ericaceous remains with a lot of non-archaeological wood. Occasional hazelnut shells occur around the site. The site is 1.35m to the E of SMR OF018-087---- with the sites SMR OF018-088---- and SMR OF018-089---- in the vicinity on the field surface. Compiled by: Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College Dublin). This site was recorded by the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (UCD) in 2001 as a secondary togher orientated from north-east to southwest and identified at two sightings, one on the field surface and the other in the opposing drain face (Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (UCD) 2002). The north-eastern extent was recorded as being 0.66m below the field surface and consisting of half-split timbers and occasional mixed brushwood, with pegs noted on the field surface. One cutting was excavated over each sighting of OFCL00009. Both cuttings under licence no. 04E0726 measured 5m by 3m. This site appeared to be a short length of trackway orientated from east-north-east to west-south-west across the bog from the dry land to the north-east. Unfortunately, this site had been badly damaged and the different field heights in this area suggest that the site may have been destroyed in adjacent fields. The fact that in Cutting 1, which was on a high field, the track only runs for some 3.4m may reflect highly localised peat conditions (i.e. that this was a particularly wet area of bog), while slightly further to the east-north-east the bog was drier and did not require a wooden walking surface. The proximity of this site to OF-CL00004 (No. 1389 above) and the fact that they follow roughly the same orientation suggests a possible relationship between them. It is hoped that further analysis of the types of wood used and dating evidence will help to interpret this site in relation to the other activity on the bog.

Three closely set roundwoods (L 2.9m; Wth 0.25m; D 0.09m) on the field surface orientated NE-SW. The roundwoods (diam. 0.068-0.08m) taper towards their N ends. The wood is in poor condition as a result of milling. One piece has been cut to a chisel point. The site sits in well-humified Sphagnum peat containing Eriophorum and is 1.35m W of SMR OF018-086---- but at a higher level.

The site (L 1.96m min.; Wth 0.96m; D 0.07m) is orientated NE-SW and composed of mixed brushwood and roundwoods. The elements are predominantly arranged longitudinally and closely set, with occasional transverse elements set slightly apart. A small number of stakes occur through the site. The wood has been substantially disturbed by milling and is in poor condition. Woodworking is evidenced by metal-cut chisel points. The site sits in well-humified Sphagnum peat containing frequent Eriophorum. It is located 4.6m E of SMR OF018-089---- and is in the vicinity of SMR OF018-086----.

The site (L 162.6m min.; Wth 2.3m; D 0.2m) is orientated NE-SW consists of a layer of longitudinal roundwoods upon which lie transverse timbers and occasional brushwood, at the primary sighting. Pegs secure the outer edges of the site, a large number of which have been split or squared. One of the timbers has mortices at each end. The condition of the site varies along its length. All field surface sightings have suffered machine damage, with one sighting comprising only of three horizontal elements and ninety-nine pegs. This site lies in moderately humified Sphagnum peat with Eriophorum and ericaceous remains. SMR OF018-103---- is located 2.6m to the NE and a large number of sites are in the vicinity of this site. Compiled by: Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College Dublin). This site was recorded by the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (UCD) in 2001 as a primary togher, visible at five sightings at varying depths beneath the field surface and orientated from north-east to south-west (Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (UCD) 2002). The condition of the site was recorded as varying along its length, with all the field surface sightings having suffered damage. Three cuttings were excavated under licence no. 04E0727 over OFCL00013 all measuring 6m by 4m. The site had suffered very badly from the activity of machines. Only one of the cuttings (Cutting 3) contained more than one layer of wood and even then the wood was in very poor condition. It is hard to draw any conclusions about this site, given its poor state of preservation and the fact that no other sightings of the site remain. From the excavation evidence and the record from the 2001 survey, it appears to be the remains of a north-east/south-west orientated trackway linking two areas of dry land across a narrow part of the bog. Samples obtained will be sent for radiocarbon dating. This site appears to have served the same function as OF-CL00002 and OF-CL00004 (Nos 1388 and 1389 above) and dating evidence may help to ascertain its relationship, if any, with these other two trackways.

An irregular deposit (L 0.96m min.; Wth 0.61m; D 0.07m) of five pieces of mixed brushwood and one roundwood on the field surface. The wood is fragmented and disturbed with no overall orientation or structure. A damaged chisel point is present on the roundwood. The site in moderately humified Sphagnum and Eriophorum peat with occasional ericaceous remains. Recorded by the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College, Dublin) in 2001. The evidence is not sufficient to warrant its acceptance as the remains of an archaeological monument. The original survey description was compiled by the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College, Dublin). Assessed and revised by: Caimin O'Brien, Paul Walsh 04E0729 This site was recorded by the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (UCD) in 2001 as an archaeological complex present at seven sightings across two drains and three field surfaces (Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (UCD) 2002). The site was examined in five cuttings, three measuring 2m by 2m, one 3m by 2m and one 5m by 2m. Although six cuttings were originally laid out, Cutting 1 was not excavated, as the site there is under no immediate threat given its depth below the field surface. Given the nature of the remains found on excavation, this site is difficult to interpret. There was a lot of natural wood present in this area, which confuses the evidence. This site is very close to the dry land to the east, which may explain the preponderance of natural wood. The remains in Cuttings 2 and 3 appeared to be mostly natural, but they did contain elements of structure. These two cuttings looked to have the remains of trackways or platforms within them, but with the limited nature of the excavation due to the presence of a stockpile and the amount of root material present it is difficult to say for certain what the remains represent. The remains in Cutting 4 at first looked like part of a platform but with increased depth looked like part of a trackway orientated to the north-east that may relate to the unexcavated remains in Cutting 1. Cuttings 5 and 6 appear, due to their proximity and the orientation of the elements, to be part of the same structure. The orientation of elements in these two cuttings would be consistent with them being part of a north-west/south-east-orientated trackway, but they could just as easily represent the edge of a platform. The lack of any sightings to the north-west may support the platform theory. Dating samples from all these cuttings should help to relate these remains to each other or to determine their lack of relationship. In short, it is hard to draw conclusions about this site without investigating it further, due to the stockpile. It may be a series of trackways that meet at this point or it may be a complex of related structures. Should Bord na Mona decide to remove the stockpile of peat, further investigations may reveal more.

At the N extent of the site this material is more dispersed but is similarly laid. There may also be a number of separate structures within this site. The site also occurs in adjacent drain face indicating that it extends in a S direction. This material consists of a wide, deep and dense band of irregularly deposited wood. On the E side of the field surface, there is at least one possible trackway, orientated NE-SW, of transversely laid roundwoods and mixed brushwood overlying longitudinal roundwoods at either edge of the structure. This arrangement continues to the SW where it meets the main concentration of wood. This site sits predominantly in well-humified Sphagnum peat containing Eriophorum and much natural wood. Radiocarbon dated to 2196-1894 cal. BC (UCD 0213). SMR OF018-105---- is located immediately E of this site. Recorded by the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College, Dublin) in 2001. The evidence is not sufficient to warrant its acceptance as the remains of an archaeological monument. The original survey description was compiled by the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College, Dublin). Assessed and revised by: Caimin O'Brien, Paul Walsh Date of upload: 23 May 2011

A dense, compact layer (Wth 3.2m; D 0.12m) of brushwood with occasional roundwoods in the drain face. The deposit is up to three pieces deep and the majority of the elements are orientated NE-SW. The elements (diam. 0.01-0.1m) are in fairly good condition. The site occurs at the base of a layer of well-humified Sphagnum and Eriophorum peat. SMR OF018-104---- is located immediately W of the site. Recorded by the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College, Dublin) in 2001.

Two split oak posts on the field surface (Wth 0.58m; D 0.44m). The posts are set in near vertical positions and are in good condition. Both are outer radial splits with one chisel point and one wedge point. Recorded by the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College, Dublin) in 2001.

This site is located in the industrial peatlands of Clonad Bog. It was recorded in the 2013 Re-assessment Peatland Survey as four heavy roundwood elements located in the E part of the bog, and was exposed in section in the W-facing drain face of a former stockpile field (Whitaker 2014). The site was excavated in 2014 (licence 14E0353). A single cutting measuring 2x3.5m was opened. Two additional oak roundwoods were exposed, orientated NE-SW. All six elements were closely placed and fairly uniform in shape and size, and were moderately well preserved. Multiple faceted concave toolmarks were noted at the SE extent of two of the elements. Two overlying brushwood elements were recorded at the SW extent of the cutting. The site was overlain and underlain by moderately decomposed Sphagnum peat containing much fibrous matter. A fragment of oak plank was chosen for dendrochronological dating and returned a result of 1064 BC ± 9 (Q11606). Compiled by: Jane Whitaker/Femke Vleeshouwer Date of upload: 25 February 2020
