• LF013-128 Road - class 3 togher
  Description

  Originally recorded as four parallel, longitudinal roundwoods (diam. 0.07-0.12m; Wth 0.8m), exposed during milling at the E shoulder of a drain, with another displaced roundwood in the base of the drain (Dunne 1999, 49, 99BG0004A-B). The remains were oriented NNE-SSW. Located on the field surface to the SSW were a further roundwood and two pieces of brushwood (diam. 0.03-0.10m), with a similar orientation, also being milled. There was no visible evidence of woodworking. Excavation in 2002 revealed closely spaced longitudinal roundwood (exposed L 11.2m; Wth 1.2m) with worked ends, two chisel points and one pencil point, and a date range of AD 894-1015 (Whitaker 2009, 72).

• LF013-129 Platform - peatland
  Description

  A band (exposed Wth 0.57m; T 0.04m) of approximately 25 densely packed pieces of brushwood (diam. 0.02-0.03m; L 0.05-0.06m) was exposed in an ENE drain face. Only the tips of the brushwood survived. The uniform and compact nature of the remains suggested that it may have been the end of a hurdle. However, there was no evidence of sails or worked pieces, suggesting that it was more likely to be the remains of a platform.

• LF013-130 Platform - peatland
  Description

  A band (exposed Wth 2.8m) of spaced brushwood was located towards the top of a WSW drain face. Thirteen pieces of brushwood (diam. 0.02-0.05m) were present, along with one roundwood (diam. 0.08m). There was no apparent pattern or structure. Most of the brushwood was orientated NW-SE; two elements extended vertically into the drain face. Some toolmarks were present. The evidence suggested that this was likely to be the remains of a platform. (Dunne 1999, 52, 99BG0013A) Compiled by: Paul Walsh Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• LF013-131 Platform - peatland
  Description

  Eighteen pieces of brushwood (diam. 0.02-0.06m) were widely spaced over a distance of 2m in a WSW drain face (exposed Wth 2m). There was no apparent pattern or structure and no visible evidence of woodworking. The majority were orientated E-W with three pieces orientated NW-SE. Two further pieces of brushwood (diam. 0.03m and 0.04m), located 2m to the S, were probably associated. The evidence suggested that this was likely to be the remains of a platform.

• LF013-132 Platform - peatland
  Description

  Originally recorded as in excess of seventeen pieces of brushwood (diam. 0.03-0.06m), mostly longitudinals, with inclusions of twigs (av. diam. 0.05m) and pieces of bark (exposed L 4.8m; Wth 2.8m; T 0.2m), exposed at the top of a WSW drain face. One split piece of brushwood displayed a possible toolmark. Probable pegs extended at an approximately 45º angle into the bog at N and S (Dunne 1999, 53, 99BG0015A). Excavation in 2001-2 revealed that the platform was composed of two layers; the upper layer consisted of longitudinal roundwood (diam. 0.06-0.10m) with brushwood (diam. 0.03-0.06m) and twigs placed in between the roundwoods; pegs were also noted. The lower layer was insubstantial and consisted of transverses and pegs. The remains yielded an Iron Age date of 163 BC-AD 21 (Whitaker 2009, 47). Compiled by: Paul Walsh Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• LF013-133 Platform - peatland
  Description

  Originally recorded as a puddle togher (exposed Wth 0.32m; T 0.18m) exposed towards the top of an ENE drain face. Longitudinal elements extended E-W and consisted of nine pieces of brushwood (diam. 0.02-0.05m), and two small split timbers. The latter had rectangular cross-sections measuring 0.05 x 0.03m. They were in poor condition and were thought to represent a single piece that later splintered (Dunne 1999, 53, 99BG0016A). Excavation in 2002 revealed a platform, exposed 0.07-0.3m below the surface in a drain face, comprising longitudinally placed, very straight brushwood (Wth 5.5m; D 0.21m), two to three layers deep. The elements had not been affected by milling. Three pieces of brushwood (diam. 0.05-0.07m; L 1.74m) at either end and in the centre were at a slightly higher level than the others. The remaining brushwood (av. diam. 0.025m) was densely arranged. Most of the longitudinal brushwood was worked - the ends were mostly found to be chisel points, the facets were cut with a metal axe and one of the worked ends had a raised signature. The remains yielded a date range of 1258-1215 BC (Whitaker 2009, 38). Compiled by: Paul Walsh Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• LF013-134 Platform - peatland
  Description

  A platform located on the field surface was being milled (exposed area 0.90m x 0.85m). Six substantial, parallel, longitudinal roundwoods (diam. 0.06-0.09m) with two pieces of brushwood (diam. 0.05m) were visible on the E side of the exposed area. There was no visible evidence of woodworking. (Dunne 1999, 53, 99BG0017A) Compiled by: Mary Tunney based on data supplied by Jane Whitaker, Archaeological Development Services.

• LF013-135 Road - unclassified togher
  Description

  Three closely set split timbers extended into both sides of a drain (exposed Wth 0.24m; T 0.17m): timber A (Wth 0.06m; T 0.04m; exposed L 0.11m), timber B (Wth 0.10m; T 0.05m; exposed L 0.14m), timber C (Wth 0.12m; T 0.03m; exposed L 0.08m). There was some evidence of woodworking. The evidence suggested that this was likely to be the remains of a togher.

• LF013-137 Platform - peatland
  Description

  Two pieces of brushwood (exposed L 0.38 and 0.62m; diam. 0.05 and 0.02m) extended N-S in a WSW drain face (exposed area Wth 1.8m; T 0.25m). Underneath was a possible peg (exposed L 0.09m; diam. 0.025m). There was an accumulation of ten-twenty twigs (av. diam. 0.01m) in the vicinity. In the opposite drain face was a piece of brushwood (diam. 0.055m). Two further pieces of brushwood (diams. 0.03m and 0.04m) extended E-W. The evidence suggested that this was likely to be the remains of a platform.

• LF013-140 Road - class 2 togher
  Description

  A largely milled-out togher (overall L 18m; Wth 2m) was evident as a band of wood chips, extending N-S, on the field surface with some patches of in-situ wood. One patch (1.7m N-S; 1m E-W) showed the elements running longitudinally. The remains comprised both brushwood and roundwood elements (diams. 0.003-0.03m and 0.07-0.11m). There was no visible evidence of woodworking. (Dunne 1999, 49, 99BG0005A-B) Compiled by: Mary Tunney based on data supplied by Jane Whitaker, Archaeological Development Services.

• LF013-142 Road - class 1 togher
  Description

  Originally recorded as a togher (L 135m; Wth 1.4-3.9m; T 0.10-0.60m) extending across nine fields. It was being milled but was evident on the field surface and also in drain faces at a depth of up to 0.85m. A transverse superstructure was composed of large planks (L 2.5m max.), split timbers, roundwood and brushwood. The longitudinal E-W substructure was of roundwood (diam. 0.22m max.), brushwood and split timbers. Some of the brushwood was laid in a random manner and bark was evident in places between the rods of the togher. Numerous pegs (diam. 0.035-0.055m; exposed L 0.45m max.) were visible, some with well-preserved worked ends. A flat stone (L 0.25m max.) was incorporated into the surface of the remains (Dunne 1999, 48, 99BG002A-J). Excavation in 2002 revealed that the togher originated in the Bronze Age (900-905 BC) and that the longitudinal roundwood of the substructure was secured by a line of outer posts (Whitaker 2009, 33).

• LF013-143 Road - class 3 togher
  Description

  A band (exposed remains 1.6 x 1m) of parallel, longitudinal roundwood (exposed L 0.7m and 1.3m; diam. 0.06m and 0.08m), split timbers and pieces of brushwood (diam. 0.04m) was located on the field surface and was being milled. Transverse brushwood and roundwood extended both under and over the longitudinal elements. Other small and large pieces of brushwood around the edges of the exposed area had no regular orientation and may have been disturbed by milling. The elements were quite substantial. The overall width of the togher was not exposed but was greater than 1m. One large piece of brushwood had a chisel-point end.

• LF013-144 Road - class 1 togher
  Description

  Originally recorded as a togher (L 80m; Wth 2.1-3m; T 0.15-0.3m) composed of longitudinal roundwood and brushwood (diam. 0.01-0.25m), which extended over seven fields. It was mostly evident on the field surface and was being milled but was also visible in drain faces at a depth of up to 0.35m. One piece of brushwood had a worked end with six facets, two of which were stepped - possibly formed with a metal blade (Dunne 1999, 48, 99BG001A-G). Excavation in 2002 indicated that the remains were mostly orientated WSW-ENE and were composed of tightly packed longitudinal roundwood that extended over 60m. After this point, it was believed that the remaining stretch (L 40m) was composed of a series of small brushwood platforms along the same line. A date range of 393-387 BC was obtained (Whitaker 2009, 48). Compiled by: Mary Tunney based on data supplied by Jane Whitaker, Archaeological Development Services. Date of upload: 26 August 2011
