What is recorded here

Milling machines bit through the peat and tore the ash from its hole, which is why no temple or dwelling can be claimed for it today. Yet a man may have stood at that spot, dragged the branch from fresh mud and watched it stiffen into a marker before forgetting its own name. The field keeps the wood but lost the reason, leaving behind a small wound in the earth and a question with no answer.

A piece of ash brushwood (L 1.45m; diam. 0.06m) on the field surface. The piece has been damaged as a result of milling and it is not certain that it has remained in situ. Recorded by the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College, Dublin) in 1993. The evidence is not sufficient to warrant its acceptance as the remains of an archaeological monument.
