On flat bogland which is partly cut-away on the N bank of the W-E Lung river, c. 1km from where it enters Lough Gara Upper. Investigated in 1966 by E. Rynne. A N-S stone and timber structure (L c. 430m), c. 0.6-1.5m below the surface of the bog, led to what must once have been a fording point across the Lung river as it is continued by the wooden togher (RO008-027----) on the S bank. At the S end of this section the construction consisted of a sub-structure of brushwood overlain by tranverse planks (alder) retained by vertical pegs of oak and birch, with a superstructure of two layers of sandstone flags also retained by vertical pegs, forming a narrow walking surface (Wth c. 0.9m). At the N end a stone paving supported by a sub-structure of longditudional roundwoods and planks (Ash) was retained by pegs (alder and oak) above a layer of brushwood. It provided radiocarbon dates of 1398-1217 BC (3050±25 BP; GrN-14730) (Brindley and Lanting 1998, 55). It is no longer visible at ground level, although it may survive in uncut sections of bog.

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
