What is recorded here

An irregular deposit (L 0.41m min.; Wth 2.26m; D 0.21m) of mixed brushwood in the drain face. The elements are densely laid with many overlying each other but no clear structure is evident. The wood is in poor to moderate condition. Two wedge points are evident. This site lies within moderately humified Sphagnum peat with ericaceous remains. SMR OF010-409---- lies 1.05m to the SE. 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
