What is recorded here

Six pieces of light brushwood and a stake (L 0.39m; Wth 0.39m; D 0.02m) on the field surface. The elements are closely set and irregularly laid, with the stake positioned at one edge of the deposit. Worked wood was noted when the site was first identified but was not evident during the recording stage. Milling had taken place prior to recording and may have destroyed any woodworking evidence. The site is in well-humified Sphagnum peat with ericaceous remains and Menyanthes seeds. 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
