- WI043-017 Road - unclassified togher
Description
This monument is indicated as ‘Kirk’s Togher’ on the 1st and 2nd ed. 6-inch OS map and appears to be the section of road which runs NNW-SSE across a strip of bog, joining two areas of dry land, as clearly depicted on the 1st ed. map. The togher was mistakenly identified as a feature to the NW, which is in fact a stream running NE-SW, parallel to and S of another public road. It is likely that the togher is under the modern road surface. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 15 October 2012
