What is recorded here

Three pieces of light brushwood and occasional twigs (Wth 0.66m; D 0.42m) dispersed within two separate peat strata. A single piece of degraded brushwood with a chisel point is in an upper U-shaped deposit of poorly humified Sphagnum with occasional Eriophorum. The two remaining pieces are 0.2m lower at the base of this peat in moderately humified Sphagnum. Despite occurring within two peat strata this material has been treated as a single site because of its association with a possible palaeo-channel orientated in a N direction across the bog. SMR OF010-455----, to the N, and SMR OF010-465----, to the S, are similarly associated. 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
