It was visible in a drain face, 0.02m below the field surface. The platform (Wth 3.9m; T 0.42m) was composed of moderately preserved randomly laid roundwood, brushwood and twigs. The elements were sparsely laid 0.02 to 0.56m apart. The roundwood and brushwood ranged from 0.06 to 0.11m and from 0.01 to 0.05m in diameter, respectively. The peat was composed of poorly humified Sphagnum-rich peat with moderate Eriophorum and Calluna inclusions. Compiled by: Ros O Maoldúin/Michael Moore Date of upload: 14th April, 2011
