What is recorded here

Strips of layered bark interspersed with mosses (L 0.78m; Wth 0.34m), with most of the bark laying upright. The bark was traced for 0.78m into the section face. A few twigs and a few pieces of light roundwood overlay the bark, at right angles. The material was located within well-laminated poorly-humified raised bog. The site was examined as it was thought to form part of a bark container. Recorded by the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College, Dublin) in 1997. 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
