What is recorded here

A dense, regular deposit of brushwood (Wth 1.66m min.; D 0.18m min.), only partially exposed, which is composed of over fifty pieces of brushwood, up to five pieces in depth. Most of the elements are orientated a N-S. A worked end is present and amongst the wood identified is hazel with a small amount of willow. The wood is in good condition and set in poorly humified Sphagnum peat with fibrous roots. This site may form part of a larger structure. Recorded by the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College, Dublin) in 2001. 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
