- WI038-017 Road - unclassified togher
Description
According to Price (1946, 76) ‘The Togher is now the local name for the house at the cross-roads near the railway bridge between Killaveny and Lugduff townlands. The name evidently originally referred to the road going from east to west across the bog here, which is called ‘Derry Bogg’ on A. R. Nevill’s map’. On the 1st ed. 6-inch OS map there is a house indicated at the cross-roads and c. 130m on the road westward from this house there is a section of the road, c. 130m long, which is indicated by a dashed line. This possibly indicates that this section of road had a different construction and may be where the togher was located. By the 2nd 1907 revision (1909 ed.) a railway line had been constructed, running N-S through this area of boggy marshland, possibly removing any existing togher.
