What is recorded here

A sparse deposit of brushwood (L 5.23m; Wth 2.6m; D 0.06m). The brushwood (diam. 0.012-0.058m) is irregularly laid and widely spaced. There are approximately thirty pieces located at its E end and approximately ten pieces at its W end with no woodworking evident. Some of the brushwood has been partially damaged by machinery and in places there are cavities within the peat where pieces of brushwood have been removed by milling. The site lies in moderately humified Sphagnum peat. SMR OF019-043----, lies c. 50m to the E. Recorded by the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College, Dublin) in 2002.
