What is recorded here

A small deposit (L 1.12m; Wth 0.78m; D 0.21m) of four pieces of dispersed, irregularly laid brushwood and two recovered wooden artifacts (02E0941:12, 02E0941:8). The site is set in well-humified Sphagnum peat with frequent Eriophorum, occasional ericaceous remains and Menyanthes seeds. One of the pieces of brushwood has been radiocarbon dated to 892-561 cal. BC (Wk-11734). 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
