What is recorded here

Thirty to forty loose brushwood pieces still span a drain face at Edercloon, measuring 3.6m wide and just 0.2m thick. They may be the remains of a platform, though no tool marks or joinery are visible. The wood lies across both drain faces, suggesting a deliberate crossing rather than random debris.
Thirty to forty loosely arranged pieces of brushwood (av. diam. 0.03m; exposed Wth 3.6m; T 0.2m) and some twigs were exposed in a drain face. They were also evident in the opposite drain face. There was no evidence of woodworking. Possibly the remains of a platform. Compiled by: Mary Tunney based on data supplied by Jane Whitaker, Archaeological Development Services.
