What is recorded here
A dispersed, irregular deposit of sixteen pieces of brushwood on the field surface (L 2.49m; Wth 1.58m; D 0.1m). The site is severely damaged and appears to represent the lower levels of a more substantial structure. The brushwood (diam. 0.013-0.034m) had a number of worked ends and branch-trimming with metal toolmarks evident. The wood is in poor condition and set in moderately humified Sphagnum peat with some Eriophorum. SMR OF003-023---- and SMR OF003-025---- are within 3m of this site, on the same field surface. Recorded by the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College, Dublin) in 2002. The evidence is not sufficient to warrant its acceptance as the remains of an archaeological monument.
