What is recorded here

Two roundwoods either side of three pieces of light brushwood in the drain face (L 1.35m min.; Wth 0.53m; D 0.1m). One of the roundwoods is also evident in the opposing drain face. The wood is irregularly laid, widely spaced and one piece in depth. It is in very poor condition and lies in well-humified Sphagnum peat with Phragmites and ericaceous remains. SMR OF018-182---- to the NW and SMR OF018-190---- to the SE may be related to this site. SMR OF018-188---- is 1.68m to the E at approximately the same level. Recorded by the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College, Dublin) in 2002. 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
