Platform

This platform was a hurdle panel (L c. 2m; Wth 1m) and was visible on the field surface, 20m N of the togher (RO030-024----), towards its NW end. It was orientated NE-SW and was truncated by a drain on its S side. It was composed entirely of poor to moderately preserved light brushwood that included six sails interwoven with tightly packed rods that were up to 0.01m apart. The elements ranged from 0.015 to 0.04m in diameter. The underlying peat was composed of poorly humified Sphagnum-rich peat with moderate Calluna and Eriophorum inclusions. It produced a C14 date of AD 30-130. Platform (RO030-026----) is c. 50m to the NE. Compiled by: Michael Moore/Ros O Maoldúin Date of upload: 12th April, 2011.
