Place & story
A trackway towards the dry ground
In Killeen Bog, in neighbouring Lurgoe west of Killeen townland, Nicola Rohan excavated part of a timber trackway in 2010. The report dates it to AD 150–430. Closely laid transverse roundwood created a surface about 1.5–2 metres wide, with lengthwise supports where needed. Additional exposures brought its known length to about 115 metres. Its direction pointed towards the dry island carrying Derrynaflan church; Rohan considered further continuation likely, with industrial peat extraction having removed part of the route. [2]
