What is recorded here

This site was located in the industrial peatlands of Daingean South Bog. It was first recorded in the 2013 Reassessment Peatland Survey as a small brushwood platform partially exposed on the field surface near the drain edge. The elements (Diam. 0.01-0.04m, max. L0.8m) were tightly packed, and were laid two to three layers deep. The majority were orientated NE-SW, with some elements overlying them orientated NW-SE. The site was situated in poor to moderately humified peat with frequent Eriophorum inclusions (Whitaker 2014). The find spot was relocated in 2014 (licence 14E0310), using GPS, but no wood remained in situ (Whitaker 2017). A fragment of ash was chosen for AMS dating and returned a date of cal. AD 1283-1393 (UBA 26601). Compiled by: Jane Whitaker/Femke Vleeshouwer Date of upload: 26 February 2020
