Corlea Trackway, Iron Age trackway in Longford County, Ireland.
The Corlea Trackway consists of oak planks measuring 3 to 3.5 meters in length, arranged on rails forming a roadway extending one kilometer.
Archaeological excavations conducted until 1991 revealed 108 toghers across 125 hectares, with dendrochronological studies confirming construction in 148 BC.
The construction method of this ancient road shares similarities with infrastructure development narratives found in the Irish tale Tochmarc Étaíne.
The visitor center displays an 18-meter section of the preserved wooden structure and operates from March 15 to November 3, between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM.
The road functioned briefly before sinking into the peat bog, which preserved its wooden structure for over two thousand years.
