What is recorded here

An irregular deposit of mixed brushwood and light roundwoods on the field surface (L 2.34m; Wth 0.9m; D 0.05m). The site had no clear structure and the wood was degraded and fragmentary. There was a large amount of ex situ material in the vicinity. Woodworking was evidenced by a degraded pencil point and two chisel points. This site lay 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. The original survey description was compiled by the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College, Dublin). Assessed and revised by: Caimin O'Brien, Paul Walsh Date of upload: 23 May 2011
