What is recorded here

The site (L 22.19m; Wth 3.08m; D 0.29m min.) is orientated NW-SE and consists of twelve posts and thirteen stakes set 0.06-0.63m apart. Both extremities of the site consist of a single line of stakes with a dense concentration near the SE end where up to five elements span the width of the site. The posts (diam. 0.062-0.11m) and the stakes (diam. 0.036-0.058m) are set at 15-90° angles. Although the wood is quite well preserved, overall the site is in poor condition. Only the tips of the elements remain (D 0.29m max.). A large number of metal-cut chisel points are present. Compiled by: Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College Dublin).
