An irregular spread of light brushwood and some twigs on the field surface (L 1.5m min.; Wth 0.6m min.; D 0.04m). The brushwood (diam. 0.015-0.03m) is up to two pieces deep. The site has been disturbed by machine activity and the surviving elements are denser on the S side. Degraded toolmarks are evident on a number of worked ends and on some branch-trimming. The lower wood is in good condition and set in moderately humified Sphagnum peat with Eriophorum. This site has been radiocarbon dated to 1686-1414 cal. BC (Wk-11714). SMR OF003-023---- and SMR OF003-024---- 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.
