• RO030-022 Road - gravel/stone trackway - peatland
  Description

  This gravel road (Wth 2-2-2.7m; T 0.27m; L 30m min.) was composed of compact sandy gravel with occasional larger stone inclusions. It was orientated WNW-ESE and was visible at three sightings, on the surface and in drain faces across three production fields. It was located at the N end of Mountdillon Bog where it extended into the bank face at the eastern limit of the bog. The uncut bog into which the site continues extends for approximately 40m, thereby indicating that the site is most likely preserved in situ within this area. It is very likely to be the sole surviving section of the gravel road (RO030-015----) which extended E-W across the bog in the 1950s.
