What is recorded here

An irregular deposit (L 1.15m min.; Wth 0.26m; D 0.075m) of three pieces of brushwood (av. diam. 0.035m) and two portions of a wooden artefact in opposing drain faces. Metal toolmarks are evident on a worked end. The wood is in good condition and set in poorly humified Sphagnum peat with ericaceous matter. The two unrecovered artefact fragments, together with a third recovered fragment from SMR OF010-114---- (01E0477:1), are parts of a single perforated artefact of ash. SMR OF010-114---- is 14m to the NE and SMR OF010-112---- is 0.15m below SMR OF010-113----. 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
