What is recorded here

The site (L 1.5m; Wth 1.45m; D 0.55m) is orientated N-S and consists of a haphazard arrangement of brushwood and roundwoods (diam. 0.03-0.065m), some of which are laid horizontally but which largely consist of vertical posts and stakes inserted at angles of 75°-85°. The posts (L 0.55m max.) are roughly paired with driven points converging. Hazel and birch are present. Several chisel points were noted.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record RO055-041
