What is recorded here

Two pieces of brushwood and a single roundwood (L 1.34m min.; Wth 1.85m; D 0.2m). The elements are very widely spaced and irregularly laid. They lie in well-humified Sphagnum peat containing Menyanthes seeds and fibrous remains. This site is one of a number of sites running along the line of a possible palaeo-channel orientated in a N direction across the bog. SMR OF010-405---- lies 2.4m to the N. 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
