The site (L 2.46m; Wth 1.64m; D 0.15m) is orientated NNW-SSE and has a walking surface (Wth c. 1.06m) constructed of longitudinally laid, densely packed brushwood (diam. 0.01-0.05m), up to three pieces deep. There are three transverse pieces of brushwood, 0.46-0.48m apart. The elements of the site are interwoven, up to three pieces deep. They are in good condition with 80% of the bark present. Radiocarbon dated to 1875-1439 cal. BC (Wk-11736). Located 0.3m W of the site there is a roundwood and ten pieces of brushwood, all irregularly laid, which may be associated with the complex SMR OF019-053----. Furthermore, two stratigraphically distinct overlying pieces of brushwood may be associated with the W extent of SMR OF019-120----. SMR OF019-123----, 8.5m to the E may also be associated with this site. Compiled by: Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College Dublin). Date of upload: 23 May 2011
