What is recorded here

A thick band (Wth 2.3m; D 0.39m) of predominantly light brushwood with occasional twigs and some light roundwoods in opposing drain faces. The wood is distributed through a significant depth and may not represent a single deposit. Evidence for a clear structure is lacking and the elements are irregularly laid. Wood species are dominated by birch with some alder also identified. The site is situated in well-humified Sphagnum peat. It is one of thirteen sites in close proximity in a 30m stretch of this drain and is located 2.8m SE of SMR OF015-242---- and 2.2m NW of SMR OF015-251----. 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
