What is recorded here

A dense, compact layer (Wth 3.2m; D 0.12m) of brushwood with occasional roundwoods in the drain face. The deposit is up to three pieces deep and the majority of the elements are orientated NE-SW. The elements (diam. 0.01-0.1m) are in fairly good condition. The site occurs at the base of a layer of well-humified Sphagnum and Eriophorum peat. SMR OF018-104---- is located immediately W of the site. Recorded by the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College, Dublin) in 2001. 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
