What is recorded here

A regular, compact deposit (Wth 1.74m; D 0.18m) of brushwood and twigs, with a roundwood at the base of the deposit. The main concentration of material (Wth 0.92m), contains a small bed of twigs. An isolated heavy brushwood, to the SW, extends the overall width of the site. The site is in well-humified Sphagnum peat with mineral inclusions. SMR OF010-161----, 10.8m to the NE. SMR OF010-298---- is 2.4m to the NE and SMR OF010-299---- underlies the SE extent. Recorded by the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College, Dublin) in 2001.
