Togher Round Barrow(s) View all content for Togher

This barrow is just inside county Tipperary in the area of Johnstown. It is in an dry island area in a bog as the name "Togher" gives away. A Togher is a timber roadway through a bog. The barrow has an internal ditch which had me thinking that it may be a henge and it has an causewayed entrance to the SE. Part of the ditch is water-logged. The inventory gives the barrow a diameter of 30m. To get to it is possible via a bog-road that gets you to with 100m of the barrow. The OS map shows that there are no houses in the vicinity of this track but there is now one right at the roadside.
