This site is located in the industrial peatlands of Castletown Bog. It was first identified in the Reassessment Peatland Survey in 2013, located at the S extent of the narrowest part of the bog, and was classified as a Class 3 Road (Whitaker 2014). On excavation in 2016 (licence 15E0189), it was revealed that the site consisted of multiple associated brushwood and roundwood platforms.
In the second cutting (OF-CTN003b), located 15m north of Cutting 1 and measuring 6x4m, excavation revealed two associated but separate structures. The one concerned here consisted of several NW-SE orientated roundwoods and brushwoods, located to the NE. Some worked ends were noted, all with flat metal-cut toolmarks.
