Recorded monuments

• OF030-070 Road - class 3 togher
  Description

  The site (L 14.21m; Wth 1.25m; D 0.2m) is orientated NNE-SSW and consists of a compact structure of longitudinally laid pieces of brushwood and roundwoods set below a single plank and roundwood. This created a central walking surface (Wth 0.4m). The oak plank was irregularly split. It appears to dive under the central roundwoods to the W. The woodworking is degraded but suggests metal tools. This material is set in poorly-humified fen peat which contained Phragmites, bark fragments and occasional Menyanthes seeds.

• OF030-071 Road - class 3 togher
  Description

  The site (L 2.94m; Wth 0.44m; D 0.12m), in opposing drain faces, composed predominantly of two parallel roundwoods and a plank. Within a small area examined, the two roundwoods and the plank are orientated NNE-SSW, with two pieces of light brushwood set roughly at right angles. The pieces of light roundwood (and plank are loosely set 0.04-0.19m apart. The plank (L 2.3m; Wth 0.11m) was a tangential outer quarter split and was poorly preserved. The site is located on the field surface within moderately-humified peat which contains Phragmites, Menyanthes seeds and some ericaceous remains.

• OF030-072 Structure - peatland
  Description

  A single roundwood (L 0.65m; diam. 0.08m) orientated E-W, located on the field surface which has been damaged by machinery. A well-preserved axe mark suggests it had been cut with a metal tool. The associated peat is poorly humified Sphagnum, which is moderately laminated containing Phragmites and ericaceous remains. Recorded by the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College, Dublin) in 1998. 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

• OF030-073 Road - class 3 togher
  Description

  Broken pieces of interspersed brushwood and roundwood (L 12m; Wth 0.94m; D 0.07m) traced across the field in a NE-SW direction. Where examined, the site consists of longitudinally laid irregular pieces of brushwood and roundwood (diam. 0.02-0.055m). Two small pegs (diam. 0.02-0.03m), mark the limit of the site to the N. The wood is in poor condition with no wood working evident. The site is located within poorly humified Sphagnum peat, with some traces of Eriophorum, ericaceous remains and Menyanthes seeds, 8.46m N of a deposit of bog iron.

• OF030-074 Road - class 3 togher
  Description

  The site (L 0.4m min.; Wth 2.11m; D 0.1m) is formed of pieces of brushwood with some twigs and roundwoods orientated roughly E-W, immediately below the field surface. Within the area examined it consists of two deposits of brushwood, twigs and a roundwood set 0.2-0.3m apart. The N deposit is denser and the S side more dispersed and fragmented. A single tool marked roundwood had been worked to a pencil point with a metal tool. This material was located within moderately humified Sphagnum peat with frequent Phragmites and occasional ericaceous remains.

• OF030-075 Road - class 3 togher
  Description

  The site (L 10.9m min.; Wth 0.74m; D 0.07m) is orientated NNE-SSW evident at two sightings. At the NE extent the site consists of compactly set, longitudinally laid roundwoods (diam. 0.6m) with some pieces of brushwood (diam. 0.01-0.042m) and twigs used to fill the voids in the structure. Only one degraded tool mark was recorded. The site is within poorly humified Sphagnum with Eriophorum and ericaceous remains and occasional Menyanthes seeds. To the SSW the site was similarly constructed but in poorer condition and disappears toward an area of high bog, located in the centre of this bog.

• OF030-076 Road - class 3 togher
  Description

  Two parallel planks, roundwoods and pieces of brushwood with occasional twigs (L 8.2m; Wth 0.96m; D 0.1m), orientated NE-SW evident at two separate sightings. The site was examined near the NE extent where the components are longitudinally laid and secured in place with two pegs. This material was overlain by a small deposit of branch wood and roundwoods on the SW side of the site. The planks (L 3.5m min.; Wth 10.1-19.7m) are an irregular inner split and an outer tangential split and the pieces of brushwood and roundwoods are mixed. The site is located within poorly humified and laminated peat that contained Phragmites and Menyanthes seeds. This site has been radiocarbon dated to 1734-1440 cal. BC (UCD-9956).

• OF030-077 Road - class 2 togher
  Description

  The site (L 25.24m; Wth 0.63m; D 0.04m) is orientated E-W across the field surface and consists of longitudinally laid brushwood. The wood (diam. 0.02-0.055m) is in fragmented condition has been badly disturbed by machine milling. Some root-like elements are also present in the deposit. Only a single end showed evidence of having been worked to a chisel point. The site is located in moderately humified Sphagnum peat with frequent Eriophorum and occasional ericaceous remains, Menyanthes seeds and a hazelnut shell.

• OF030-079 Road - class 3 togher
  Description

  A concentrated deposit of longitudinally placed pieces of brushwood, twigs and a roundwood (L 6.5m; Wth 0.56m; D 0.12m), orientated in a NE-SW on the field surface. Twigs infilled the small voids between the pieces of roundwood. No evidence of woodworking was recorded as the ends of the pieces were broken and part of the structure may have been removed by peat milling. The site is in moderately-humified Sphagnum peat which contained ericaceous remains and some Menyanthes seeds. The site has been radiocarbon dated to 1734-1449 cal. BC (UCD-9932).
