What is recorded here

An irregular and dispersed deposit of brushwood, a twig bed and a roundwood on the field surface (L 2.8m; Wth 0.79m; D 0.04m). The brushwood (diam. 0.02-0.05m) and roundwood (diam. 0.12m) are fragmentary and the roundwood appears to have been split but this may be due to machine damage. This site is in poor condition and lies in poorly humified Sphagnum peat with Eriophorum and ericaceous remains. 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
