What is recorded here

The site (L 16.97m min.; Wth 1.9m; D 0.07m) is orientated NNE-SSW and consists of transverse heavy brushwood and some roundwoods on the field surface. At the N end the elements are set up to 0.17m apart. The brushwood (diam. 0.02-0.058m) is dispersed throughout the site. Some of the roundwoods (diam. 0.07-0.1m) have been partially half-split. The S exposure is similar although pegs are evident. A variety of worked ends are present, most of which have been crudely cut and split. Where not machine damaged the wood is in moderate condition and set in well-humified Sphagnum peat with occasional Eriophorum and ericaceous remains. There is a concentration of Calluna vulgaris underlying the site on the S side. Compiled by: Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College Dublin). Date of upload: 23 May 2011
