1970:33 - FEEGARRAN td, Tyrone

A stone causeway was discovered by Mr. James Brennan in Feegarran bog, during drainage operations. It ran across a small raised bog at its narrowest point. It was 56m long, 1.35m wide at mid-point, and was composed of gabbro boulders bound together with turf. At one point excavations discovered part of another togher of heavy timber, lying 0.4m above the stone causeway; and c. 0.25m below the causeway at this point was found a more fragile togher, of Birch. These three superimposed track-ways all ran in the same direction, traversing the bog at its natural crossing-point.

No small finds were discovered during the excavation. Several samples were collected for pollen analysis and C14 dating by the staff of the Palaeoecology laboratory Q.U.B.
