What is recorded here

Up to fifteen parallel pieces of brushwood (T 0.2-0.25m), orientated NNE-SSW, extended at an acute angle into an ENE drain face. A central group consisted of eight pieces of brushwood (diam. 0.05-0.06m), along with a possible split roundwood. A single outlier lay 0.43m to the SSW. Two other outlying groups, each consisting of three pieces of brushwood with twigs (diam. 0.01m), were located 0.35m and 0.67m to the NNE. The evidence suggested that this was likely to be the remains of a platform.
