Four parallel pieces of brushwood and a small band of twigs (L 0.16m min.; Wth 0.72m; D 0.37m). The band of twigs (Wth 0.6m; D 0.1m) has three pieces of light brushwood below it and a heavier piece of brushwood above it. All of the wood is in poor condition. The site is in moderately humified Sphagnum peat rich in ericaceous remains. This is one of a number of sites running along the line of a possible palaeo-channel orientated in a N direction across the bog, including SMR OF010-457---- to the N. SMR OF010-452----, 4.7m to the E, is 0.26m below SMR OF010-456---- and SMR OF010-455----, 2m to the E, is 0.36m above it. 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.
