What is recorded here

A deposit (L 1.76m min.; Wth 1.43m; D 0.35m) of mixed brushwood, two stakes and occasional twigs. The elements are widely spaced, irregularly laid and up to two pieces deep. The stakes are set at 85-90°, with one at the centre of the deposit and the other towards the NE extent of the site. Woodworking is evidenced by a single chisel point. The site lies in moderately humified Sphagnum peat with fibrous roots. SMR OF010-292---- is 3.3m to the NE. 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
