What is recorded here
A deposit of brushwood, roundwoods and twigs on the field surface (L 5m; Wth 0.78m; D 0.05m). The site appears to run NE-SW but the brushwood (diam. 0.02-0.03m) and roundwoods (diam. 0.06-0.08m) are fragmentary and irregularly laid with no clear structure. The elements are highly degraded and there is a large amount of ex situ material in the area. This site lies in moderately humified Sphagnum peat with a high amount of Eriophorum and some ericaceous remains. 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.
