What is recorded here

An irregular deposit of fifteen pieces of brushwood, ten roundwoods and twigs (Wth 2.1m; D 0.7m) within two distinct peat strata. The overall orientation of the site is indiscernible. At the E base of the deposit there is a dense, compact deposit of overlapping heavy roundwoods, brushwood (diam. 0.02-0.12m) and twigs. One roundwood is half-split. The elements are in good condition and lie in moderately humified Sphagnum peat with fibrous roots and occasional ericaceous remains. The upper, heavier elements are predominantly parallel with some elements set at right angles. These elements have been damaged by milling. This material is in moderately humified Sphagnum peat with occasional 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 OF010-466---- to the N and SMR OF010-456---- to the S.
