What is recorded here

A collection of light brushwood (Wth 3.52m; D 0.42m) in the drain face. The pieces overlap each other at right angles with no clear structure or orientation evident. A number of pieces have metal-cut toolmarks. The site sits in moderately humified, woody, Sphagnum peat. It is one of seven sites in close proximity in a 19m long stretch of this drain face, including SMR OF015-165---- c. 0.3m above the site and SMR OF015-167---- 5m to the NW. 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. 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
