• TN042-015 Enclosure
  Description

  Situated on a low rise of ground in undulating countryside. Visible as a cropmark of a large bivallate enclosure (c. 110m x 126m) on an aerial photograph (GSIAP, S 460/459). Not visible at ground level. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary.

• TN042-068 Road - unclassified togher
  Description

  Situated in flat bog with good views in all directions. Three partially destroyed toghers were found in close proximity. Two were composed wholly of brushwood (Wth 0.37m; D 0.06m and Wth 0.9m; D 0.06m) and one was a mixture of roundwood and brushwood (Wth 0.97m; D 0.12m) (pers. comm. Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (UCD)). The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary.

• TN042-070 Road - class 1 togher
  Description

  A peatland survey carried out in 2006 by Archaeological Development Services recorded a togher measuring in ‘width 1.2-5.3m, depth 0.1- 0 6m, length 525m, and was dated after 986BC’ (Whitaker 2006, 90). Described by Whitaker (2006, 90) as ‘this substantial oak plank trackway was visible on the field surface and in the drain faces, at 30 sightings across the narrowest section of Longfordpass Bog. The site was located at the northern end of the bog, was orientated northwest-southeast and ran parallel to the modern road. The trackway was composed of transversely laid planks secured, in places, by pegs and longitudinal roundwood runners. Many sightings also had an underlying layer of sand and gravel which could also be found between and occasionally over the elements. The composition was consistent along the length of the trackway and the level of preservation varied depending on the site's location on the field surface or within the peat. The eastern extent of the trackway was composed of a thin layer of sans, gravel and stones recorded on the field surface. The site had been mostly milled out in this area, so that all that remained were the lower levels of the trackway. The transverse elements were orientated north-northeast/south southwest and the longitudinal runners, where present, were orientated west-northwest/east-southeast. Bog butter was recovered to the northeast of TI-LFPOO1z at a similar level in the bog. The proximity of the bog butter to the trackway and the fact that they were found at similar levels in the bog would suggest that they are broadly contemporary in date. TI LFPOOIa, 222652,161918, Width 3.5m, Depth 0.2m. This sighting was located at the southwestern end of the plank trackway and was exposed on the field surface and in the drain face. It was composed of a single transverse plank with a peg at both ends and a patch of overlying sandy gravel. The elements were in a moderate state of preservation but were dried out due to exposure in the drain face. The transverse was orientated north-northeast south- southwest and measured 1.18m in length, 0.12m in width and 0.08m in depth. The pegs had average dimensions that measured 0.2m in length and 0.04m in diameter. The peat was composed of moderately humified Sphagnum rich peat with frequent Eriophorum and moderate ericaceous remains’. Compiled by: Caimin O’Brien Date of upload: 19 August 2012

• TN042-071 Road - class 3 togher
  Description

  A peatland survey carried out in 2006 by Archaeological Development Services recorded a togher measuring in ‘width 0.4-2.5m, depth 0.1-0.3m, length 15m, dated after 1004BC’ (Whitaker 2006, 101). Described by Whitaker (2006, 101) as ‘this togher was located at the western edge of the bog and was visible, in the drain faces, at three sightings. It was orientated east-northeast/west-southwest and was composed of longitudinally laid planks, with gravel at the westernmost sighting. The sightings TS-LFP002a and TSLFP002b are described together, as they were located on the western and eastern drain faces of the same drain. TS-LFP002a, 221861, 161465, Width 1.05m, Depth 0.3m TS-LFP002b, 221862,161464, Width 2.5m, Depth 0.2m. As mentioned above, these sightings were located in opposing drain faces, 0.3m and 0.57m below the field surface respectively. The togher was composed of six longitudinally laid planks that had a fine layer of sand and gravel above and below the planks. They were regularly laid and orientated west-northwest/east-southeast, with the exception of the plank on the southern side of the sighting, which was orientated northeast-southwest. The wood was in a moderate state of preservation and was densely laid, with 0.05 to 0.1m between planks. The sighting TS-LFP002a was composed exclusively of small degraded stones and gravel that measured 1.1m in length and 0.1m in depth. The peat was composed of well-humified Sphagnum-rich peat with frequent reed material and moderate Eriophorum inclusions. TS-LFP002c, 221877,161482, Width 0.4m, Depth 0.1m. This sighting was located 15m northwest of TS-LFP002b in the drain face, 0.73m below the field surface. It was composed of a single roundwood and a small plank. They were in a moderate state of preservation and were orientated east-west. The roundwood measured 0.12m in diameter and the plank measured 0.14m in width by 0.1m in depth. The peat was composed of moderately humified Sphagnum-rich neat with moderate Eriophorum inclusions’. Compiled by: Caimin O’Brien Date of upload: 19 August 2012

• TN042-072 Structure - peatland
  Description

  A peatland survey carried out in 2006 by Archaeological Development Services recorded a togher measuring in ‘width 2.7m, depth 0.14m, length 3.8m, dated to 420-390BC’ (Whitaker 2006, 103). Described by Whitaker (2006, 103) as ‘this site was located on the northern side of the bog and was visible on the field surface and in the opposing drain face. It had been truncated down the centre by drain-cutting machinery but it was dearly oval in plan. It was composed of regularly spaced brushwood pegs, with a smaller number of roundwood pegs, inserted into the peat at angles of between 40° and 60°. The elements were moderately preserved, but the upper part of the structure had been removed by machinery. Seven parallel brushwoods, orientated northwest-southeast, were located to the southwest of the structure. The brushwood pegs had an average diameter of 0.04m and the roundwood pegs of 0.07m. The peat in which the possible animal trap was located was composed of moderately humified Sphagnum peat with moderate Eriphorum and occasional Calluna inclusions’.

• TN042-073 Road - class 2 togher
  Description

  A peatland survey carried out in 2006 by Archaeological Development Services recorded a togher measuring in ‘width 0.3-2.8m, depth 0.05-0.17m, length 60m, dated to 1559±9BC’ (Whitaker 2006, 104) Described by Whitaker (2006, 104-05) as ‘this plank trackway was located on the northern side of the bog and was visible, in the drain faces and on the bog surface, at six sightings. It was orientated northwest-southeast and was composed of longitudinally laid oak planks and roundwood elements. The composition of the trackway was consistent at all six sightings.
