What is recorded here

Ancestral hands may have carved those wedge points and laid the brushwood across wet Offaly soil before peat swallowed the shape. The wood survived long enough for modern surveyors to measure its shallow width and read the tool marks still visible on damaged ends. Whether the site was a bridge, marker or temporary camp has faded, but the act of building in difficult ground remains written in the grain.

A scatter (Wth 1m; D 0.05m) of heavy and light brushwood (L 0.55-0.24m; av. diam. 0.04m). Many pieces are damaged with their upper surfaces milled and ends degraded. Several wedge points were recorded, one of which had several tool signatures. Located within 10m of SMR OF006-101---- and may represent the remains of a single site. Recorded by the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College, Dublin) in 1992. The evidence is not sufficient to warrant its acceptance as the remains of an archaeological monument.
