A dispersed arrangement (Wth 2.12m; D 0.37m) of light brushwood, twigs and a single roundwood in opposing drain faces. The components are largely orientated NE-SW but evidence for a clear structure is lacking. Metal-cut chisel points are noted on two pieces. Wood species identified include birch and hazel. The site is situated in a moderately humified Sphagnum peat with ericaceous remains and is overlain by similar peat containing Eriophorum. This is one of a series of comparable sites along a 34m long stretch in this drain face which includes SMR OF015-170---- to the NW and SMR OF015-152---- to the SE. Recorded by the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College, Dublin) in 1996. The evidence is not sufficient to warrant its acceptance as the remains of an archaeological monument.
